Balsamic Pork Tenderloin

Marie's Note:

Garlic is tucked in slits, then the pork tenderloin is coated with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and rubbed with a mixture of rosemary, thyme and salt and pepper. Excellent dish.

This was my first try making pork tenderloin, and it turned out fantastic! We love garlic and balsamic vinegar, so this was a great choice. I don't know that I will ever be able to bring myself to try any other tenderloin recipe. Thanks!

An outstanding recipe packed with flavor. I followed Pumpkie and cooked a 1 pound tenderloin at 475 degrees for the time specified. It was perfectly cooked, tender and moist. This was served with brown rice and sauteed green beans. Thanks Marie for a wonderful meal.

I followed the recipe as is. It cooked for about 30 minutes (it weighed 2.24 lbs). It was very tender and moist. My favorite part was that it took such little time to prepare and cook. I would make this again.
