Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 -3 lbs pork tenderloin
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Add oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, worcestershire, and pepper in plastic bag.
  • Shake to mix.
  • Add pork tenderloin to bag and marinade 4-24 hours.
  • Cook on grill or oven.
  • Oven setting is 375, usually 25 minutes per pound.
  • Pork is done when thermometer reads between 140 and 160 degrees.
  • I take mine out of the oven when it's at 140 and then let it rest, because when meat rests, it continues to cook and will reach a higher internal temperature.

I found this recipe in the latest Paula Deen magazine and we tried it last night and it is very good. Now I wish I would have taken a picture of it. There are only two of us so I only did a small center piece of a tenderloin.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
1 tsp garlic salt--i used fresh garlic
1 tsp italian seasoning
3 lb pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and next 3 ingredients. Place tenderloin in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, and add vinegar mixture. Seal bag, turning to coat tenderloin, and chill for at least 4 or up to 8 hours.
  • 2. Spray grill rack with nonstick nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350 to 400) Remove tenderloin from marinade, discarding marinade.
  • 3. Grill tenderloin, covered with the grill lid, for 10 minutes per side or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145 degrees. Let tenderloin stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • 4. I only did a small center portion of a tenderloin so it took about 20 minutes for ours to grill. The outside formed a nice crust and the inside was moist and very tender. Very good.

Tips:

  • Choose a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight, as this will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Make sure to marinate the tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, as this will help to flavor and tenderize the meat.
  • When searing the tenderloin, be sure to get a good sear on all sides, as this will help to lock in the juices.
  • Cook the tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving, as this will help to keep the juices in the meat.

Conclusion:

Balsamic marinated pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The tenderloin is marinated in a flavorful balsamic vinegar marinade, then seared and roasted until cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
