Chef's Note

For the most tender results, avoid overcooking the pork medallions. They should be slightly pink in the center (145°F). Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the pork in a small amount of the balsamic mixture for up to 4 hours before cooking.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 3 cloves garlic cloves

  • 1 large red bell pepper

  • 2 medium zucchini

  • 1 medium yellow squash

  • 1 medium red onion

  • 12 ounces baby potatoes

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 2

    Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin and excess fat. Cut crosswise into 1-inch thick medallions. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.

  • 3

    Quarter the baby potatoes. Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash into 1-inch chunks. Slice the red onion into 1/2-inch wedges.

  • 4

    In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Strip the leaves from 2 sprigs of rosemary and 4 sprigs of thyme and add to the vegetables.

  • 5

    Spread the vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.

  • 6

    While vegetables are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes until reduced by half and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • 7

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, sear the pork medallions for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  • 8

    Remove the pork to a plate and tent with foil to rest. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the balsamic glaze. Whisk in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.

  • 9

    Return the pork medallions to the skillet and turn to coat in the glaze.

  • 10

    Remove the vegetables from the oven after they've roasted for a total of 25 minutes and are tender and caramelized.

  • 11

    Serve the glazed pork medallions alongside the herb-roasted vegetables, spooning any remaining glaze over the pork.
