Grilled Balsamic-Garlic Crusted Pork Tenderloin

Ever since I discovered Pinterest, I have been pinning way more recipes than I think I will ever be able to cook.  But that's ok, there are endless options on there and I think every one I've tried, I've liked.  

This serves 6

Ingredients:

4-5 cloves of garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 1/2 teaspoons course salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 1/4 lbs each)

2 tablespoons canola oil

This recipe gave the option of grilling or cooking in the oven.  Since we don't have an outdoor grill, we chose to cook it in the oven.  

Stir together garlic, balsamic, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl.  Rub all over pork and marinate overnight if possible.  If now, a few hours before you plan on cooking the meat.  

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat oil in a large, heavy saute pan over medium high heat. Brown pork all over, about 4  minutes. 

Transfer pan to oven.  Roast pork until the internal temperature is 160 degrees , about 20-25 minutes.  Transfer pork to cutting board and try to let it rest 10 minutes before slicing.    We served ours with a rice pilaf and salad.  Enjoy!
