A honey-rosemary glaze delicately seasons pork tenderloin in this delightful entree. As elegant as it is easy, the main course is ideal for weekend dinner parties and weeknight suppers alike. —Barbara Sistrunk, Fultondale, Alabama

Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions

Whisk together first seven ingredients. Cut tenderloins crosswise into 1-in. slices; pound each with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. In batches, cook pork until a thermometer reads 145°, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from pan.
In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat; saute garlic until tender, about 1 minute. Stir in broth mixture; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Add pork, turning to coat; heat through.

Wonderful recipe. I did not pound to 1/2 ". I didn't want to chance being over cooked beyond 140 degrees internal for the 3 min per side I cooked at.

This was very good. I used half a pork tenderloin for the two of us (about 12 oz.) but made the full amount of glaze. We both loved it.

This is one of our favourite meals. Many times I make it easier on myself by keeping the tenderloin whole. I sear it first then bake and baste it with the honey mixture while it cooks. It takes about 30 minutes to cook.
