Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- For the tenderloin:
- 1-2 pork tenderloins (2-3 pounds total)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- For the glaze:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons corn starch + 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and pour into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat 4-6 minutes, stirring constantly and watching closely so the mixture doesn’t burn or boil over. As soon as the glaze thickens and starts to bubble, remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking pan with foil lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub mixture all over the pork tenderloin. Note: If the pork is wet when you remove it from the package, dry it with a paper towel first to help the seasoning stick to the meat better.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add pork to the skillet, searing all sides for 1-2 minutes each. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and brush all sides with the balsamic glaze.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush with the balsamic glaze again. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your tenderloin) or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 145-150 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and lightly tent with foil. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional glaze on top of the pork or on the side.
