INGREDIENTS

  • Glaze

    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 💧 ½ cup water
    • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • Spices and Rub

    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground sage
    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Pork and Oil

    • 2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

STEPS

1

Whisk brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Set aside off heat.

2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet.

3

Combine garlic, sage, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub on pork tenderloins.

4

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenderloins; brown evenly, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

5

Transfer to the prepared baking sheet; brush with balsamic glaze.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip tenderloins; brush with glaze. Continue cooking until slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes more, or until desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 145°F (63°C).

7

Transfer tenderloins to a platter; let rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle a little glaze over top. Carve and serve remaining glaze on the side.

💡 For even cooking, bring the pork to room temperature before cooking.Letting the pork rest prevents juices from escaping when cut.You can double the glaze recipe and save extra for use as a sauce for vegetables or rice.
