Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for cooking the pork tenderloin.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Pork

    Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork tenderloin. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Bake the Pork

    Transfer the skillet with the seared pork tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  3. 6

    Rest the Pork

    Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier tenderloin.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with your choice of sides. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for added flavor.
