Chef's Note
For the most tender pork, remove it from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 140°F and let it rest - it will continue cooking to the safe temperature of 145°F while retaining its juiciness. You can also make the balsamic glaze ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving.

Ingredients
1 pound pork tenderloin
1.5 pounds sweet potatoes
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot with cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- 3
While potatoes cook, prepare the pork. Pat tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- 4
Mince 2 cloves of garlic and chop the rosemary. Mix with 1 tablespoon olive oil and rub all over the pork tenderloin.
- 5
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- 7
While the pork roasts, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and 1 minced garlic clove. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- 8
When the sweet potatoes are tender, drain well and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- 9
When the pork reaches temperature, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Brush generously with the balsamic glaze.
- 10
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve over the sweet potato mash. Drizzle with additional glaze.
