Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Glaze:

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Pork:

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground sage

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Whisk brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch together in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Set aside off heat.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet.

  3. Combine garlic, sage, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl; rub on pork tenderloins.

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenderloins; brown evenly, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet; brush with balsamic glaze.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip tenderloins; brush with glaze. Continue cooking until 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).

  6. Transfer tenderloins to a platter; let rest 10 minutes. Drizzle a little glaze over top. Carve. Serve remaining glaze on the side.
