Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs pork tenderloin

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)

1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork: In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best flavor.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Sear the Pork: Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add a dash of olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

        Bake the Pork: Pour the reserved marinade over the seared pork. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

          Rest the Pork: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps retain its juices.

            Slice and Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle some of the pan sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
