Pork tenderloin is a great choice for a quick dinner. When I feel lazy, I am a huge fan of the pre-marinated variety that is readily available in most grocery stores. It can be grilled or baked and is usually very good.

Tonight I decided to make my own marinade. For this recipe, the pork tenderloin is cut into 1/4″ thick slices and then flattened with a meat mallet….be gentle as it does not take much to pound the slices flat.

Arrange the slices in a baking dish. For the marinade, in a small bowl combine a bit less than 1/4c olive oil, 3Tbsp Balsamic vinegar, 3Tbsp honey, 2Tbsp Dijon mustard, and a splash of soy sauce.

Mix well and pour over the pork slices in the baking dish.

Then sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper to taste and some dried rosemary. Let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before placing in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the meat is browned. There are always a few slices of Italian bread just sitting around to mop up the juices in the pan…

Buon Appetito!
