I love just about anything balsamic.  So this was no surprise how fantastic this delicious pork tenderloin came out.  

I am a little kooky about making sure meats are cooked thoroughly, so I continued to make sure the internal temperature was at least 160 degrees all throughout the loin. It was juicy and tender and full of flavor.  I will definitely be making this again, probably put it on the grill next time!

There are so many pork loin recipes out there, but this one is quick and easy.  I paired this with steamed spinach and roasted potatoes.  

I think so many different side dishes would be wonderful with this pork.   Use your imagination! This one will definitely stay on my rotation, the family LOVED it.

If you are looking for some more healthy, low carb dishes you might like are this Zucchini Ravioli, Easy Balsamic Chicken, Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Soup and this Eggplant Parmesan.

This garlic balsamic tenderloin would be prefect along side my Spicy Cornbread Stuffed with Cheese, Cranberry Apple Salad and my Balsamic Glazed Green Beans with Cranberries and Almonds.

My Slow Cooker Mulled Wine, Cranberry Mojitos and this delicious Spiked Apple Cider would be even more amazing with this!

Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

Recipe Tips

I highly recommend using a meat thermometer any time you cook pork. It can be really helpful to know when its fully cooked through. You need to place the thermometer in the thickest part of the pork for the most accurate reading.

The temperature should read between 145 and 160 degrees F to ensure it's done cooking. The meat should be slightly pink, tender and juicy, if it is tough and completely white, most likely it is overcooked.

Make sure to let the cooked pork tenderloin sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to reorganize in the meat for the juiciest, most flavorful pork tenderloin.

Ingredients

• ▢ 2-3 garlic cloves finely minced or crushed
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground mustard
• ▢ 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil for marinade
• ▢ 1 pork tenderloin about 1¼ pounds
• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil for saute
• ▢ fresh parsley to top

Instructions

• Stir together garlic, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the paste all over pork. If you like or have the time, marinate overnight. (I like to do this in the morning and keep in the fridge until dinner time!)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add pork, and brown all over, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven. Roast pork, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees, about 20-30 minutes (depending on your oven). Transfer pork to a cutting board, and try to let it rest 10 minutes before slicing. Top with fresh parsley (optional).

Notes

To store in the refrigerator: Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
