Garlic Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloin

 

8 garlic cloves, finely minced or crushed
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp freshly ground pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 pork tenderloins (about 1¼ pounds each)

 

Combine garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the paste all over pork. Let marinade 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.

 

NOTE: over-marinating a pork tenderloin results in a mealy texture to the meat, as it's already tender.  Avoid going over the 12 hours, if possible.

 

Heat grill to medium-high heat (425 degrees). Sear the tenderloins on all sides over direct heat, then grill for about 20-25 minutes, rotating every few minutes, until the internal temperature is 140 degrees. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

 

You could also certainly make this in your oven by searing the pork on the stovetop first, then finishing up in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
