wash and trim clear fatty layer off pork tenderloin with a verrry sharp thin knife.
Instructions:
make the balsamic reduction ahead of time, because it takes about 30 mins to reduce.
place all ingredients from reduction recipe list in a small sauce pan, place on med-low heat and cook stirring occasionally for 30-45 mins, remove from heat. will thicken as it cools.
place tenderloin in a glass roasting pan, drizzle all of the balsamic vinegar over the top of the loin, and rub into the meat.
pour all of the olive oil over the loin and rub into the meat.
place rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
make small slices in top of loin with a paring knife, and insert all of garlic.
cover with S&P and herb mixture, then drizzle just a tiny bit of olive oil over the loin.
bake uncovered for about 35-40 mins, it will be medium rare to medium.
let rest on a cutting board for about 5-8 mins then slice into 1/2 inch medallions, after placing on serving plate/dish drizzle the reduction over the meat.
Goes great with a fresh spinach salad, and fresh green beans. i also like to serve it with garlic bread!
