Steps:
- Whisk balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour balsamic mixture on top to coat. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Place the bag in a container to avoid leaks, and marinate in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Remove pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Place pork in a roasting pan or baking dish. Reserve marinade.
- Roast pork in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork from the oven, place on a cutting board, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.
- While pork is resting, pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the roasted tenderloin.

Steps:
- Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

Tips:
- Choose a high-quality pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a consistent color. Avoid tenderloins that are bruised or have any discoloration.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is a good place to start.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the meat and prevent it from drying out. Cook the tenderloin for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Marinated pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, marinated pork tenderloin is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give this marinated pork tenderloin a try. You won't be disappointed!
