Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm and pink in color. Avoid any tenderloins that are brown or have any signs of bruising.
- Trim the tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the tenderloin. This will help the tenderloin cook evenly.
- Marinate the tenderloin: Marinating the tenderloin in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Sear the tenderloin: Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the tenderloin and lock in the juices.
- Roast the tenderloin: After searing the tenderloin, transfer it to a roasting pan and roast it in a preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the balsamic cranberry sauce: While the tenderloin is roasting, make the balsamic cranberry sauce. This sauce is made with a mixture of balsamic vinegar, cranberries, sugar, and spices.
- Serve the tenderloin with the balsamic cranberry sauce: Once the tenderloin is cooked, slice it and serve it with the balsamic cranberry sauce. The sauce can also be used as a glaze for the tenderloin.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with balsamic cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, and the balsamic cranberry sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
