This recipe is more of a procedure than a recipe, it is wonderfully flavorful...It is low fat and lean....a fast everyday dish and nice enough for company! Let's get started....
purchase the pork tenderloin that is not already seasoned.(some are)...it usually comes with 2 in a package...cut off anything weird on the meat like sinew stuff ...(raw meat looks kinda gross anyway) generously sprinkle with garlic powder, fresh cracked pepper and a good salt....
like this, do both sides and the ends......then...
place a couple tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of a heavy deep pan....and turn on a medium high heat...
place the tenderloin in the hot pan and sear on both sides...about 3 minutes, turn and 3 minutes on the other side.....
put in a 475 degree oven for about 45 minutes....or until your meat thermometer reaches 165....
nope not done yet.....
ok blurry, steamy but 165....your meat will be done but still very juicy and moist....I might not of mentioned that I went outside and picked a sprig of rosemary and tossed it in the pan as the pork was roasting...
let rest on the cutting board while you make the sauce....
place a half a cup of balsamic vinegar in a sauce pan....put the burner on medium high heat...
stay right there and watch this come to a boil and boil until reduced by half...it is a quick process...
this sauce is as thick as chocolate syrup and as sweet and savory as dessert....
slice your pork into medallions and pour the sauce across the top....
this really looks like you did something special and really takes just an hour...
be sure to cook both the tenderloins...I usually put one in the freezer....it is so nice to have something so great on hand...Once I read an article about having leftovers in the freezer and the gal said "it is like someone nice cooked and brought dinner to you!" that about sums it up!
Cheers to Happy !!
