Brown Sugar Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper.

2. Season the pork with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Sear the tenderloins in a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.

4. Transfer pork to the prepared baking dish.

5. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

6. Brush half of the glaze over the pork tenderloins.

7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

8. Brush with remaining glaze and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

9. Serve warm, spooning extra glaze over the top for a glossy finish.
