Stop swine-ing! Dinner will be ready soon. This pork tenderloin with balsamic and dijon glaze is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Seared on all sides and then roasted in the oven. The glaze adds depth of flavor and leave the pork incredibly juicy (dare I say moist?). The recipe is perfect as a meal prep idea for a single person or couple and it also makes a perfect weeknight dinner for families. Add any sides you want! My go-tos are creamed kale, diced sweet potatoes, or stuffing. Furthermore, this recipe is WW friendly.

Preparing meat properly is essential. Pork is not a meat to eat rare. The correct internal temperature is a minimum of 145F. Definitely make sure you have a meat thermometer on hand and always check the temperature at the thickest part of the tenderloin. Please know that you can cook to a higher temperature if that makes you more comfortable, but the meat may dry out the higher you go.

Instructions

Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil to cast iron skillet and heat over medium heat until oil shiny and hot
While cast iron skillet heating, dry off pork tenderloin with paper towels. Rub down with 1 tbsp olive oil and coat with crushed peppercorns
Place tenderloin in skillet and sear 4-5 minutes on each side. Careful to rotate with a heatproof turner or spatula
Preheat oven to 350F
Coat baking dish with either cooking spray or lightly with olive oil. Transfer pork tenderloin to baking dish with the majority of any juices in skillet. Reserve a little bit of juice and oil in skillet for glaze
Place pork tenderloin in oven for 20 minutes
While pork cooking, prepare glaze in same cast iron skillet. If dry, add a bit more vegetable oil
Heat up on medium and add balsamic, dijon, and rosemary. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until at a light simmer and then remove from heat to thicken slightly
Remove pork from oven after initial 20 minutes and pour glaze over the pork
Bake pork in 10-15 minute increments, removing to check temperature and use spoon to baste pork by scooping up pooling sauce and distributing back on top of tenderloin. If getting too dark, can place square of aluminum foil over dish
The tenderloin is done when the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 145F
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving
Store covered with foil in fridge up to 4 days

Tips

Essential to monitor internal temperature more than cook time. Pork is not a meat to eat undercooked
If glaze getting too dark in oven, add a square of aluminum foil over meat
Store covered with foil up to 4 days
If no cast iron skillet, use regular skillet with only 1 tbsp vegetable oil to sear meat. Can turn up to medium high to evenly distribute heat
