Ingredients
  

For Maple Balsamic Marinade

  • 1 Shallot, minced
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
  • ½ Cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • ¼ Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

For The Pork Tenderloin

  • 1½ -2 lbs. Pork Tenderloin

Instructions
 

  • Place your tenderloin in a baking dish that is big enough to fit tenderloin, but shallow enough so that the tenderloin is completely covered in marinade. I had to cut my tenderloin in half. I also didn't have a baking dish shallow enough to completely cover the tenderloin. I spooned the marinade on top of each tenderloin, covered with plastic wrap and let it marinate in fridge for 3 hours, flipped them over and marinated for another 3 hours. That's IF your tenderloins aren't completely covered in marinade. IF your tenderloins ARE completely covered in marinade, follow step below.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in fridge for atleast 6 hours.
  • When tenderloins are done marinating, take out of fridge and preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes to an hour in preheated oven. When there is very little to no pink in the thickest part, they are done! Its ok to have a little pink!
  • Keep covered in foil and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy with your favorite sides!
