Ingredients

  • 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
  • tablespoon brown mustard
  • 2 whole cloves of garlic
  • salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • 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.
