1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced

  • Cook on grill or oven.
  • Oven setting is 375, usually 25 minutes per pound.

- For the best flavor, use high-quality pork tenderloin. Look for meat that is firm and has no discoloration. - Don't overcook the pork tenderloin. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium. - Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. - Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. - If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar. - If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use semisweet chocolate bars, chopped. - You can also add other spices to the marinade, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion

Chocolate Balsamic Pork Tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection in a flavorful marinade of chocolate, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
