A delightful pork tenderloin recipe with a honey-balsamic glaze, perfect for a flavorful and easy-to-make meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your pork.
Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Seasoning evenly ensures a balanced flavor throughout the meat.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a delicious crust to the meat.
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Stir and simmer until the mixture thickens into a glaze.
Simmering the glaze allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
Return the pork to the skillet, spoon the glaze over it, and transfer it to a roasting pan.
Coating the pork with glaze ensures a flavorful crust during roasting.
Roast the pork in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Using a meat thermometer helps achieve the perfect doneness.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Slice the pork and serve with the remaining glaze drizzled over the top.
Serving with the glaze enhances the presentation and flavor.
