Chef's Note
For the most tender pork, remove it from the oven when it reaches 140°F and let it rest - the temperature will rise to the safe 145°F while resting. This prevents overcooking and keeps the meat juicy.

Ingredients
8 oz pork tenderloin
8 oz baby potatoes
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp butter
1/2 medium lemon
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Wash and quarter the baby potatoes. Place them in a bowl and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, leaves from 1 sprig of rosemary (chopped), 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- 3
Spread the potatoes on one side of a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes while you prepare the pork.
- 4
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- 5
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes total.
- 6
While the pork is searing, make the balsamic glaze by combining 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl.
- 7
Pour the balsamic mixture over the seared pork, turning to coat. Add the remaining rosemary sprig to the skillet.
- 8
Transfer the skillet with the pork to the oven (alongside the potatoes) and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- 9
Remove both the pork and potatoes from the oven. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 10
While the pork rests, heat the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes until they begin to burst.
- 11
Add the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- 12
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions.
- 13
Serve the sliced pork with the balsamic glaze from the pan drizzled over top, alongside the rosemary roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach and tomatoes.
