How To Make roasted pork tenderloin with shallot balsamic sauce

  • Step 1
    Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add oil to a skillet and get it hot. Sear the tenderloins on all sides. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the tenderloins in a Dutch oven and roast for about 20 minutes.
  • Step 2
    As soon as you put the tenderloins in the oven, add 1 Tbsp butter to a saucepan. Add the shallots, water, and brown sugar. Cook until the shallots are caramelized. About 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    When the pork's internal temp measures 145 degrees, remove the tenderloins to a carving board and tent with foil. Place the Dutch oven on the stove. Add the balsamic vinegar and bring to a boil scrapping up all the bits in the pan. Add the shallot mixture to the balsamic mixture. Reduce until sauce is syrupy and done to about 1/3 cup. Take off the heat and whisk in the Dijon mustard and the remaining butter 1 piece at a time. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Slice the tenderloins and serve with the pan sauce.
