Juicy Balsamic-Glazed Pork Tenderloin With Garlic and Thyme image

I had fun playing in the kitchen last night, and I think I've come up with a real winner! It was VERY juicy, tender, slightly sweet and flavorful! And so easy to make! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! *You can also use a small pork loin roast, also. **Don't be fooled by my lengthy directions, this is easy-peasy. I always just try to keep in mind that there are newbie cooks and try to help by describing everything I can to help.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons dark brown sugar, 1 Tbl. plus 1 tsp. firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Trim any excess fat, and rinse pork under cold water, set on paper towels and pat dry.
  • Season all sides with salt and pepper to your own taste.
  • Heat oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Get the pan nice and hot!
  • Place pork into pan, and brown/sear on all sides, don't forget the ends. About 2-3 minutes per sides, if your pan is very hot. Check so you don't burn it or under sear it.
  • Remove pork from pan and set on a plate.
  • Turn down heat to medium, and add the balsamic vinegar.
  • Using a plastic spatula, scrape any bits off of the bottom of the pan, that's the good stuff!
  • Stir in dark brown sugar (can sub regular brown sugar, but dark is better), using spatula and keep scraping the bottom and stirring the sauce constantly. Don't worry, it's very easy.
  • Do this for about 2-3 minutes til sauce has reduced and is thickened a little. Just don't do it too long, because it still has to bake and you don't want to end up with burnt tar to roof your house with!
  • Turn heat off.
  • Place pork back into the skillet and turn several (4-5) times to coat/glaze all sides, ending with it bottom-side up.
  • Sprinkle bottom side evenly with 1/4 teaspoons (half) the thyme, using your fingers crushing it as you sprinkle.
  • Sprinkle with half the garlic powder, (1/4 teaspoons also).
  • Place pork, newly seasoned-side down into (greased) shallow roasting or baking dish.
  • Now season the top the same way.
  • Pour remaining glaze over pork.
  • Let rest 10 minutes, and keep re-glazing with the sauce in the pan. (Just tilt the pan and spoon it over.).
  • Place in oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. (35 if slightly larger).
  • Remove from oven, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • This gives you time to heat up that corn or green beans!
  • Remove pork from baking dish to platter, slice and plate.
  • Stir pan juices and pour over slices. (Don't scrape the bottom or any super thick parts, though, just mostly the juices).
  • And serve! :).
  • *Tip: If wanting to serve roasted potato wedges with this, bake them right along with the roast (seperate dish!) for 45 minutes uncovered. It will all get done at the same time with the resting time of the pork! HTH! :).

TENDER AND JUICY INSTANT POT® PORK TENDERLOIN



Tender and Juicy Instant Pot® Pork Tenderloin image

Seriously, the juiciest pork tenderloin that I've ever made! The "zero" minutes is NOT a typo! The tenderloin cooks during the searing, pressure build up, and pressure release. The internal temperature upon removing from the pot was 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), but was at 148 degrees F (64 degrees C) after the resting time.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup hot water
½ cube tomato bouillon with chicken flavoring (such as Knorr®)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, smashed
aluminum foil
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Stir hot water and tomato bouillon in a small bowl until dissolved.
  • Mix garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Rub seasoning all over pork tenderloin until coated.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering, 3 to 5 minutes. Add smashed garlic and cook until fragrant and oil is infused with garlic flavor, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer garlic to a small bowl.
  • Add pork tenderloin to the pot and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour tomato bouillon into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits of pork off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add garlic cloves back to the pot.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 0 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. As soon as the pressure pin drops, unlock and remove the lid. Lift out tenderloin and cover with 2 layers of aluminum foil; allow to rest for 3 minutes before slicing. After resting, pork should be slightly pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, mix cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add slurry to the Instant Pot®. Select Saute function and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Drizzle sauce over sliced pork.

EASY JUICY PORK TENDERLOIN



Easy Juicy Pork Tenderloin image

This is a super easy recipe for the juiciest, tastiest pork tenderloin. Adapted from a Paula Deen recipe to simplify it for our busy schedules. Brining the pork keeps it tender and juicy, eliminates high roasting temperatures, and constantly checking for doneness. It's fantastic with mashed potatoes and gravy on the side.
