Balsamic-Garlic Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
4-5 garlic cloves, finely minced or crushed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pork tenderloins (about 1¼ pounds each)
2 tablespoons canola oil (if preparing in oven)
Directions:
1) Stir together garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl.
2) Rub the paste all over pork. If you like or have the time, marinate overnight. If not, no worries, it will still be great!
3) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4) Heat oil in a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat.
5) Add pork, and brown all over, about 4 minutes.
6) Transfer pan to oven.
7) Roast pork, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature is 140 degrees, about 20 minutes.
8) Transfer pork to a cutting board, and try to let it rest 10 minutes before slicing.
