Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp raw honey

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and thyme (if using).
  4. In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  5. Remove from heat and surround the pork with baby potatoes. Drizzle half of the balsamic glaze over everything.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Let the pork rest for five minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining glaze drizzled over both pork and potatoes.
