Chocolate Balsamic Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder. Add the broth, rosemary, vinegar and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
• For the pork: Whisk the cocoa powder, allspice, dark brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Place the pork on a heavy nonstick baking sheet. Rub the allspice mixture over the pork. Drizzle with olive oil and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn pork, brush again with glaze, and continue cooking until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes more, or until desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Mix together and pour over meat and let marinade at least 2 hours. I have done much longer.

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour balsamic mixture on top to coat. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Place the bag in a container to avoid leaks, and marinate in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

• Roast pork in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork from the oven, place on a cutting board, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.
• While pork is resting, pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the roasted tenderloin.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large skillet, I use 12" skillet, pour enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Sweat the garlic and onion together, do not burn the garlic, it will become too nutty. Once the garlic and onion is cooked down, the onion is tranparent, remove from the oil and place in a 9X13 pan. I usually take the ground pepper and salt and mix them together so that coating the pork is easier. Take the pork out of the vacume sealed bag, rinse and pat dry. Take the salt and pepper and pat onto the pork, sear on all sides. After searing on all sides, place in the 9X13 pan on top of the garlic and onions. Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar, reduce and then pour over the pork, onions, and garlic. Place in middle rack for about 20-25 minutes until middle of pork is about medium well to well done.
• When serving, I slice the pork and then take the glaze and onion/garlic mixture and pour over the pork. It's delicious -- ENJOY.
