BAKED PORK TENDERLOIN
IN BALSAMIC SAUCE
This pork tastes amazing! It just goes to show one does not always have to grill pork tenderloin, as it can be just as tender and tasty done in the oven. This is a no-fuss recipe that is made with minimal preparation and then the oven does the work and 25 minutes later, it is done! I was impressed with how flavorful the pork was.
Use a good-tasting balsamic vinegar. This is the simplest sauce. I liked it so much. Next time I think I will try a sweet balsamic glaze, as I see a lot of recipes along those lines. It should be easy to make a low-carb version. Stay tuned! I need to find ways to use my balsamic vinegar, besides this recipe and my Green Bean and Tomato Salad that we all just love in our family.
This pork looked as if it had been barbecued. Usually we barbecue our pork tenderloin.
While the oven is cooking the pork, you can be preparing some tasty sides to go alongside your dinner. You will need to work fairly quickly as this cut of meat does not take long to bake.
Pork tenderloin can be company fare or an everyday meal. It is so juicy and tender done this way. The sauce adds a lot of tasty flavor.
