Mustard and Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Serves 4 (depending on how hungry you are)
Pork tenderloin can be made in under 20 minutes, making it a
perfect option for a quick meal. I served this alongside RR’s Creamy
Polenta
and sauteed broccolini. Everyone was happy. Everyone was full
and I got to enjoy some quality time with my loves. Mission accomplished!
Ingredients:
·
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
·
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
·
1 tablespoon honey
·
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
·
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
·
salt and pepper
·
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
·
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable
oil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium bowl whisk together, vinegar, mustard, thyme,
garlic and honey. Set aside.
Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Heat oil over
medium-high heat in a large oven-safe skillet. Sear the tenderloin on all sides
(including the ends, this will give the meat a nice crust), about 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and brush meat generously with the glaze. Place skillet in
oven and roast 15-20 minutes, until internal temperature is 145-150 degrees.
Remove from oven and tent meat with aluminum foil. Let it rest about 5 minutes
before slicing and serving. Meat will be tender and juicy. Serve alongside your
favorite starch or veg (preferably both!).
