Balsamic Pork Roast Recipe

It is easy to make, a one pot dinner, and the ultimate comfort food! Three winning qualities in a meal. The secret is slow roasting (try this in your slow cooker) and marinading with a balsamic glaze. Sounds different, but I promise you will not be disappointed! We make this for guests all of the time and receive rave reviews! 

Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloins Ingredients:

• Balsamic vinegar
• White wine
• Garlic
• Olive oil
• Honey
• Salt and pepper
• Pork loin
• Baby carrots
• Red potatoes
• Onion
• Fresh rosemary 

The balsamic pork tenderloin marinade really is the key to a stellar dish. However, I have been asked multiple times if the wine is really necessary. Yes, and no. It really is best if you use the ingredients called for. That being said, I understand that some people prefer not to use alcohol while cooking. 

The alcohol in this recipe is used to help tenderize the meat. You could substitute it with white grape juice or chicken stock. Although, the end result won’t be quite the same. 

I also really wanted to make this pork tenderloin recipe a full meal. Enter- All of the veggies in my fridge. Carrots, onion, and potato combine in the bottom of the pan and cook to perfection. The juices from your roast and added herbs and spices make this the perfect one pan dinner!

4. Place the carrots, potatoes, and onions in the pan. Empty the marinade into the pan and toss to coat.
5. Place the pork loin in the middle of the pan and generously season with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
