- 1 1/2 - 2 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Marinade Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup jam (Triple Berry used but any red fruit jam is good)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard
- 2 whole cloves of garlic
- salt and black pepper
Whisk all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl then reserve and set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade.
Pour the remaining marinade into a large zip top bag then trim the tenderloin of excess fat and add it to the bag. Roll completely to coat the meat.
Drizzle the olive oil into a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, shake excess marinade off and place pork tenderloin into the skillet searing all sides and ends. Remove from the skillet
Slice the tenderloin into 1″ thick medallions. The pork is not finished cooking at this point.
Lower to medium heat then add the medallions back to the skillet, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
To make the balsamic glaze, reduce the heat to medium-low then pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Simmer 2-4 minutes or until it’s reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Brush the balsamic sauce over the pork and serve right away.
