Chef's Note
For the most tender pork, be careful not to overcook it. Remove it from the oven when it reaches 140°F and let it rest - the temperature will continue to rise to the safe 145°F. If you have time, marinating the pork for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator will enhance the flavor even more.

Ingredients
8 oz pork tenderloin
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves, minced garlic
1 sprig, chopped fresh rosemary
2 sprigs, leaves only fresh thyme
4 oz baby potatoes
2 medium, peeled carrots
1/2 medium red bell pepper
1/4 medium red onion
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp of honey, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, half of the chopped rosemary, and half of the thyme leaves. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 3
Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow dish and pour half of the balsamic mixture over it, turning to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- 4
Meanwhile, cut the baby potatoes in half, slice the carrots into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the bell pepper into 1-inch chunks, and slice the red onion into wedges.
- 5
In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, the remaining minced garlic clove, rosemary, and thyme. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
- 6
Spread the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
- 7
Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes total.
- 8
Push the vegetables to the sides of the baking sheet and place the seared pork in the center. Pour the reserved marinade over the pork.
- 9
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- 10
While the pork is roasting, make the balsamic glaze by combining the remaining 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar with 1 tsp of honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
- 11
Remove the pork from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 12
Arrange the sliced pork and roasted vegetables on a plate, drizzle with the balsamic glaze, and garnish with any remaining fresh herbs.
