Categories     Entree

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375° F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Mix together pepper, salt and garlic powder in a small bowl or ramekin. Rub mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
  • Place tenderloin on the baking sheet and onto the center rack of the oven. Be sure to have baking sheet in the center of the rack. Allow to bake for 20-30 minutes. Oven temperatures may vary, so use an internal thermometer to check for doneness. If it reads 140° F-150° F it is done. If you do not have an internal thermometer, the center of the tenderloin when cooked will be slightly pink, but will not look raw!
  • Place blueberries in a medium sauce pan on med-high heat. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, begin breaking the blueberries while cooking. Add garlic and honey. Blueberries will begin to boil and sauce will begin to form. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Bring sauce to a boil and allow to reduce. Reduction time is about 12-15 minutes.
  • Once tenderloin is done baking, remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Remove sauce from stove heat once it has reduced and become slightly thick, it should flow almost like the consistency of honey off of a spoon.
  • Slice tenderloin into medallions, about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Place 4 medallions (1 serving) onto dish and spoon sauce over medallions. Serve with any veggie or starch and enjoy! Also great with a white wine.

  • Sear the Pork: Searing the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet creates a flavorful crust and helps to lock in the juices.

  • Reduce the Marinade: Reducing the marinade creates a flavorful sauce that can be drizzled over the pork tenderloin before serving.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Garnish the pork tenderloin with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for an added touch of flavor and color.
