minutesIngredients
1 lb pork tenderloin
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a sharp knife to cut the pork tenderloin into even medallions, approximately 1 inch thick.
- Season the pork medallions with salt and black pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork medallions to the hot skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until well browned.
- Remove the pork medallions from the skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to deglaze and loosen browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey, then add the pork medallions back into the skillet along with any accumulated juices.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon sauce over each medallion for additional flavor.
