Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Add the bay leaf to the marinade.

Step 3

Seal the plastic bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the pork for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place the tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Slice the pork into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
