From Pat-NoCal, Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloins. I'm making my way through...

...all the wonderful tenderloin recipes posted by everyone last February. I made this one last night, using Pat's suggestions at the bottom of the page. The crust (caramelization) on these were awesome! So delicious.

I cut the marinade in half and used two tenderloins.

Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloins

4-1/2 pounds pork tenderloins, 2 packages with 2 tenderloins in each package

4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

8 cloves garlic, cracked

Steak seasoning blend or coarse salt and black pepper

4 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves stripped and finely chopped

4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and finely chopped

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Trim silver skin or connective tissue off tenderloins with a very sharp thin knife.

Place tenderloins on a nonstick cookie sheet with a rim. Coat tenderloins in a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, rubbing vinegar into meat. Drizzle tenderloins with extra-virgin olive oil, just enough to coat. Cut small slits into meat and disperse chunks of cracked garlic cloves into meat. Combine steak seasoning blend or coarse salt and pepper with rosemary and thyme and rub meat with blend. Roast in hot oven 20 minutes.

Let meat rest, transfer to a carving board, slice and serve.

Pat’s notes: I just whisked all the marinade ingredients together, poured it into a ziploc bag and added the tenderloin to marinate for about an hour. Then grilled the pork. It was delishus. Definitely a keeper. Oh, and I cut the marinade recipe in half and it was perfect for a one pound tenderloin.

 
A note about all the recipes posted last February in response to my request for tenderloin recipes..

...of which I received many terrific replies.

I am slowly making my way through them. (How much tenderloin can one family eat?)

I have had to sort the recipes by whether or not my family would appreciate them. Kid friendly ingredients fall into three categories:
ones they'll eat, one's they might eat (thereby expanding their palates a bit - always a goal around here), and ones that cause them to run screaming into the night.

So many of those recipes (at post 877) are so good-sounding, but they fall into the category of "I'd be the only one eating them". Not especially frugal, but not outside the realm of possibility either.

I'll keep everyone posted as I progress.

Thanks for the progress report, Michael. Your kids are fortunate to have your fine culinary

interests to help develop their palates.

 
hi Michael, how does one get to post 877? I tried the archives for the date

and it came up with "no messages" smileys/frown.gif

BTW - "screaming into the night" is a hoot!

 
don't be sorry, I just can't figure out why the archive didn't open for me. thanks for the link

 
Randi, archives arent working right now. Mimi posted about a "fix" that needs to be done.
