Best 6 Savory Glazed Tenderloin Recipes

BROWN SUGAR AND BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet.
• Combine garlic, sage, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over pork tenderloins.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tenderloins in the skillet and brown evenly, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the balsamic glaze.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn pork, brush again with glaze, and continue cooking until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes more, or until desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove tenderloin to a platter. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle a little extra glaze over the top. Carve and serve with remaining glaze on the side.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
• Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICY RHUBARB GLAZE AND GRILLED SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and rhubarb and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the pomegranate juice, honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree. Strain and reserve.
• Heat a grill pan or grill over medium heat. Spread the spring onions in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with smoked salt and pepper; toss to coat. Grill the spring onions, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Rub the pork with salt and pepper and the remaining tablespoon oil. Place the pork on a sheet pan fitted with a rack. Roast the pork for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Brush the pork on all sides with the glaze and return to the oven. Continue to roast, repeating the basting twice, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Baste again when it comes out of the oven.
• Let the pork rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pork into medallions. Brush some glaze on the plate and arrange the medallions on the glaze. Serve with the onions. Garnish with the almonds, mint and more smoked salt.

ISLAND GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle an oven-safe pan or skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet) with the olive oil and preheat on the stove over medium-high heat til the oil is hot. (See notes for alternative cooking option)
• Whisk together all rub ingredients. Sprinkle the rub mixture all over the tenderloin and use your fingers to massage into the meat.
• Place tenderloin in skillet and allow to brown for 3-4 minutes, turning the meat throughout to sear on all sides.
• Mix the glaze ingredients together and spread mixture over the tenderloin. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
• Cut tenderloin into 1-inch thick slices. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze from the pan all over the tenderloin just before serving.

CHERRY GLAZED, BACON WRAPPED, PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Place the Cherry Preserves in a sauce pan over medium heat until it melts. Add the Blacken and vinegar and stir it up good. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Blend with a food processor, blender, or an immersion blender (like I did). The whole cherry will help thicken the sauce.
• As it cools, it'll thicken because you've boiled off some of the water in the preserves, this is when you add the port wine. Add enough so that you've got a nice basting sauce. Set this aside while you cook the Pork.

• Pork Tenderloin normally comes 2 / pkg., Separate them, rinse, then remove the silver skin, and any grizzle that might be there. The ones that I had also had a piece on the end that I removed, in order to make each piece more uniform in size.
• Lightly season the Pork with about 1 teaspoon of Butt Kickin' Blacken per tenderloin.
• I use a thick cut bacon, this time it happened to be coated with black pepper. I removed most of the pepper, then toothpicked 3 slices bacon per tenderloin, in a spiral, leaving about 1" in between each slice as it wrapped around. I didn't put any additional seasoning on at this time, because the bacon already had plenty of pepper to it, and the bacon would provide the salt.
• Cook on a medium grill until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 - 145 degrees. The meat should be barely pink inside, and will be real moist.
• Begin basting with the Cherry Glaze, about 15 minutes before they're done.
• When it's done, place it on a platter, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest about 15 minutes before carving. When carving, slice it into 1/2" slices on an angle to give larger pieces.
• Ron's Note:.
• Be sure to remember to remove the toothpicks when carving, and try to cut all the way through in one slice of the knife. Otherwise you might end up with jagged slices.
