A quick and easy pork tenderloin recipe featuring a tangy-sweet strawberry balsamic glaze that creates a juicy, flavorful dish perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole pork tenderloin (1 to 1.25 pounds / 450–570 g), trimmed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or dairy-free alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat pork tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer skillet or pan to oven and roast pork for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove and tent with foil to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. While pork roasts, combine strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Remove glaze from heat and stir in butter and fresh herbs if using. Adjust sweetness or acidity if needed.
  6. Slice rested pork into ½-inch medallions and spoon glaze generously over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Rest the pork after roasting to keep it juicy. Stir glaze gently and simmer on low heat to avoid burning. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Fresh herbs added at the end brighten the glaze. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, omit butter or use plant-based alternative.
