Best Balsamic Marinated Pork Tenderloin
  1. 1

    Whisk the balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place the pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour the balsamic mixture over it to coat. Press out excess air and seal the bag. Set the bag in a container to catch any leaks, then marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the pork in a roasting pan or baking dish. Reserve the marinade.

  4. 4

    Roast the pork in the preheated oven until the center is slightly pink, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove the pork from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 to 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    While the pork rests, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the roasted tenderloin.
