Tender Balsamic Marinated Pork Tenderloin

flume027's Note:

My MIL was comming over for dinner and I came up with this recipe. I actually made two pork tenderloins, one marinaded in this, and another store bought tenderloin that was marinading in the package. This turned out far better! Cook time is an estimate.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 -3 lbs pork tenderloin
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed rosemary
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. Add oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, worcestershire, and pepper in plastic bag.
2. Shake to mix.
3. Add pork tenderloin to bag and marinade 4-24 hours.
4. Cook on grill or oven.
5. Oven setting is 375, usually 25 minutes per pound.
6. Pork is done when thermometer reads between 140 and 160 degrees.
7. I take mine out of the oven when it's at 140 and then let it rest, because when meat rests, it continues to cook and will reach a higher internal temperature.

Yummy pork tenderloin. Mine ended up marinating for a really long time (24 hours) because the meal got "bumped" to another night. The result was super flavorful meat. I used fresh rosemary in the marinade. It had an appealingly tangy aroma while roasting, very pronounced balsamic vinegar taste which we enjoyed. Served with cheesy potato bake and fresh asparagus. Loved this!!

This recipe is sooo good. My husband raved about it, and it is something that I will make again and again. I have grilled this all three times I made it, and it is wonderful.

I usually dont rate recipes, but this was absolutely terrific. I served it with jellied cranberry sauce and that seems like it was made to go with this. Also had some steamed broccoli and fresh bread. I even forgot to add the pepper to the marinade and it was still great. The meat came out SO moist and tender that it was perfect without any sauce What a great meal! Thanks!
