Pork Medallions with Balsamic Honey Glaze

This is a quick and easy meal you can make with a pork tenderloin.

Pork Medallions with Balsamic Honey Glaze

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 3/4 to 2 lbs pork tenderloin
Canola oil, for searing

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Make the glaze:  Put garlic and rosemary in a small bowl  Add the vinegar, honey, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper.  Stir to combine.

For the pork:  Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions (rounds). Cover the bottom of a medium skillet with a light film of canola oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot.  Add the pork slices in 1 layer, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 1 minute.  Turn and sear for 1 more minute, until lightly browned.  Transfer the slices in 1 layer to a shallow baking dish.  (I have left them in the skillet to bake, if your skillet can be put in the oven.)

Pour the glaze over the slices and turn them to coat.

Roast for 8-10 minutes, until a thermometer inserted reaches 140 degrees.

To serve place pork medallions on a platter and spoon the balsamic-honey glaze over them.  Can garnish with rosemary sprigs.
