BALSAMIC DIJON PORK TENDERLOIN
Who doesn’t love a pork tenderloin? It’s an easy weeknight meal, short marination time and requires minimal dishes and chopping! The only thing you have to do for this particular balsamic dijon pork tenderloin is a small bowl to mix the marinade, a Ziploc or resealable container and the baking vessel you wish to roast the tenderloins in. Seriously. It’s that easy.
Be sure to have a meat thermometer ready to ensure that you are cooking the tenderloin to a safe temperature. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, or buttered vegetables which you can easily do while the tenderloins and roasting in the oven.
Dinner under an hour. Boom. Thank me later.
