This super easy recipe tastes like so much more than the sum of its ingredients. You can marinate the pork in the balsamic mixture overnight if you'd like, but this is just as good as a last minute recipe.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place tenderloin in roasting pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In small bowl, combine vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and melted butter. Rub onto all sides of pork.
In same small bowl, mix cider with mustard and pour over pork. At this point you can cover the pork and marinate it up to 24 hours. Or cook it right away.
Roast pork for 30-35 minutes or until internal temperature registers 155 degrees F, basting twice with cider mixture. If the pork has been refrigerated, cook 5-10 minutes longer. Remove pork from pan; cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. You can serve this with pan juices if you'd like. Serves 4-6
