Make a pan-seared pork tenderloin finished with a sweet and tangy glaze made from reduced balsamic vinegar and fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Season the pork tenderloin evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) is reached. Remove the pork from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil.
  4. While the pork rests, make the glaze. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the quartered strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by about half and coats the back of a spoon. The strawberries should soften.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Dijon mustard and chopped fresh basil. Mash some of the strawberries lightly with a spoon if you prefer a smoother sauce.
  7. Slice the rested pork tenderloin into half-inch thick medallions. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and spoon the warm strawberry balsamic glaze over the top.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, sear the pork on the stovetop and then transfer it to a baking dish before roasting.
  • You can substitute frozen strawberries, but do not thaw them before adding them to the glaze mixture.
