Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1-1.5 lbs each) Pork tenderloin
- 0.33 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, rosemary, thyme, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 2
Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring each tenderloin is well-coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4-6 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the pork occasionally to evenly distribute the marinade.
Step 4
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow the pork to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes while the oven heats up.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top if available, and transfer the tenderloins to the rack. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Step 6
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the reserved marinade halfway through the cooking process.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick medallions. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
