Steps:
- Add oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, worcestershire, and pepper in plastic bag.
- Shake to mix.
- Add pork tenderloin to bag and marinade 4-24 hours.
- Cook on grill or oven.
- Oven setting is 375, usually 25 minutes per pound.
- Pork is done when thermometer reads between 140 and 160 degrees.
- I take mine out of the oven when it's at 140 and then let it rest, because when meat rests, it continues to cook and will reach a higher internal temperature.
BALSAMIC-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN
I found this recipe in the latest Paula Deen magazine and we tried it last night and it is very good. Now I wish I would have taken a picture of it. There are only two of us so I only did a small center piece of a tenderloin.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and next 3 ingredients. Place tenderloin in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, and add vinegar mixture. Seal bag, turning to coat tenderloin, and chill for at least 4 or up to 8 hours.
- 2. Spray grill rack with nonstick nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350 to 400) Remove tenderloin from marinade, discarding marinade.
- 3. Grill tenderloin, covered with the grill lid, for 10 minutes per side or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145 degrees. Let tenderloin stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- 4. I only did a small center portion of a tenderloin so it took about 20 minutes for ours to grill. The outside formed a nice crust and the inside was moist and very tender. Very good.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by making a small incision in the center of the tenderloin. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare or completely white for medium.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- To make a quick and easy sauce, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Drizzle this sauce over the pork tenderloin before serving.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Balsamic marinated pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The tenderloin is marinated in a flavorful mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then roasted to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender, and flavorful pork dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So, next time you're looking for a quick and easy pork recipe, give this balsamic marinated pork tenderloin a try. You won't be disappointed!
