Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloins

from the kitchen of Shawnalyn

Ingredients:

4 ½ lbs pork tenderloin roast
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1-2 Tbs Dijon mustard
salt & pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500*
Place pork on baking sheet.
Mix together all other ingredients. Pour over pork. Place in oven and cook for 25-30 min until pork is done. Cut and serve. Pour extra sauce over meat and potatoes or rice etc.

This is really simple to do. Some times I will add a few cloves of chopped garlic to the sauce. You can also add rosemary and/or thyme as well. I usually just do it as above though and it turns out great. I like to serve this with garlic mashed potatoes.
