Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil with the minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
  3. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
  4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork until well browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Scrape the browned bits from the pan and let simmer for about 1 minute.
  7. Return the pork to the skillet and spoon some sauce over it.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and serve over mashed potatoes with the pan sauce.

Notes

Trim excess fat from the pork for even cooking. The sauce can be made ahead and warmed before serving.
