BALSAMIC-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
I found this recipe in a site promoting the other white meat. Balsamic vinegar combines with a touch of brown sugar to make a delectable glaze for this pork.. A quick browning gives the pork color and seals in the juices for a more tender dish. This recipe is simple and very tasty both hot or cold.I made 2 so I can have leftovers. Add baby potatoes to your pan and you will get these great roasted potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Trim any excess fat, and rinse pork under cold water, set on paper towels and pat dry.
- Season all sides with salt and pepper to your own taste.
- Heat oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Get the pan nice and hot!
- Place pork into pan, and brown/sear on all sides, don't forget the ends. About 2-3 minutes per sides, if your pan is very hot. Check so you don't burn it or under sear it.
- Remove pork from pan and set on a plate.
- Turn down heat to medium, and add the balsamic vinegar.
- Using a plastic spatula, scrape any bits off of the bottom of the pan, that's the good stuff!
- Stir in dark brown sugar (can sub regular brown sugar, but dark is better), using spatula and keep scraping the bottom and stirring the sauce constantly. Don't worry, it's very easy.
- Do this for about 2-3 minutes til sauce has reduced and is thickened a little. Just don't do it too long, because it still has to bake and you don't want to end up with burnt tar to roof your house with!
- Turn heat off.
- Place pork back into the skillet and turn several (4-5) times to coat/glaze all sides, ending with it bottom-side up.
- Sprinkle bottom side evenly with 1/4 teaspoons (half) the thyme, using your fingers crushing it as you sprinkle.
- Sprinkle with half the garlic powder, (1/4 teaspoons also).
- Place pork, newly seasoned-side down into (greased) shallow roasting or baking dish.
- Now season the top the same way.
- Pour remaining glaze over pork.
- Let rest 10 minutes, and keep re-glazing with the sauce in the pan. (Just tilt the pan and spoon it over.).
- Place in oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. (35 if slightly larger).
- Remove from oven, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- This gives you time to heat up that corn or green beans!
- Remove pork from baking dish to platter, slice and plate.
- Stir pan juices and pour over slices. (Don't scrape the bottom or any super thick parts, though, just mostly the juices).
- And serve! :).
- *Tip: If wanting to serve roasted potato wedges with this, bake them right along with the roast (seperate dish!) for 45 minutes uncovered. It will all get done at the same time with the resting time of the pork! HTH! :).
GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN W/ ORANGE BALSAMIC SAUCE
This is a wonderful recipe that I picked up along the way and do not remember where it came from. It may have come from my cousin Karen when she was taking culinary classes. But this is a sure hit for those who have a grill and want to take the time with it!

Steps:
- 1. BRINE THE TENDERLOINS: For 2 tenderloins, in a medium bowl mix kosher salt, sugar with cool water until dissolved. Trim the tenderloins of excess fat and silver skin. Submerge them in the brine and let stand about 45 minutes. Remove the pork from the brine, rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- 2. ROSEMARY-ORANGE GLAZE: In a small saucepan, bring the orange juice concentrate, brown sugar and rosemary to a simmer. Simmer until the mixture reduces to about 2 tablespoons. Set aside and cool slightly.
- 3. TENDERLOINS: Heat a gas grill turning all burners on high until grill is fully heated, 10-15 minutes. Rub the brined tenderloins all over with the glaze and then season with pepper.
- 4. Put the tenderloins on the hot grill grate. Close the lid and grill for 7 minutes. Turn the tenderloins over, close the lid and grill another 6 minutes. Turn off the heat (keeping lid closed) and continue to grill for another 5 minutes. At this point an instant read thermometer inserted into the middle of the thickest end of the tenderloin should read 145-150 degrees (If not, close the lid and let the tenderloin continue to roast in the residual grill heat). Remove tenderloins from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before carving. When carving cut across the grain into 1/2 inch slices (Save any juices that run from the tenderloins) and serve immediately with the Orange Balsamic Sauce.
- 5. ORANGE BALSAMIC SAUCE: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook until fragrant and sizzling, about 30 seconds. Stir in the marmalade and vinegar. Heat until warm. After slicing the pork, add any juices from the carving board to the sauce before serving. Pass separately when serving the pork tenderloin.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are brown or have a slimy texture.
- Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloin. This will help the pork cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the pork tenderloin in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the pork tenderloin to the proper temperature: The internal temperature of the pork tenderloin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: Allow the pork tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork tenderloin.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for pork tenderloin include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
Balsamic glazed pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork tenderloin turns out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
