Balsamic Pork Roast Tenderloin
- 1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon herbed salt (i use Krazy Jane's Mixed Up Salt religiously in every meal)
- If not available
- 1 teaspoon iodized salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0.
- With a tenderizing mallet, proceed to tenderize pork loin thoroughly - making effort to really work the tougher portion.
- Finely dice garlic and rosemary, then put into small bowl. Add in seasonings and olive oil, mixing to make into paste.
- Press paste firmly onto all sides of the tenderloin.
- In large, oven - proof skillet, add 1 Tbsp olive oil over med- high heat. Add tenderloin, and brown all sides (will take roughly 10min) There will be browned bits stuck to bottom of pan, do not worry about that- its essential to the sauce.
- Transfer to oven and roast for 12 min (or until temp is 165u0b0- keeping in mind though that after removed from oven the meat will continue to cook.) ****I usually will remove any meats im cooking based on temp roughly 4-5u0b0 before my desired temp).
- Remove pork from pan and set aside.
- Set pan over high heat and add balsamic vinegar and beef stock- using a wooden spoon to scrape up the baked on browned bits on bottom of pan. Bring this to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, making sure to stir frequently. It will only take about 5 minute.
- Turn off heat, and whisk in butter.
- Serve spooned over the sliced pork tenderloin.
- Dish is excellent with roasted baby potatoes, steamed green beans/ asparagus and/ or salad.
- ENJOY! ***.
