Ingredients
  

2 pounds pork tenderloin

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup fresh blackberries, plus extra for garnish

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork:

    - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

      - Using paper towels, pat the pork tenderloin dry to ensure a good sear. Generously season all sides with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.

        Sear the Pork:

          - In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

            - When the oil is shimmering, carefully place the pork tenderloin in the skillet. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. This step seals in the juices.

              Make the Glaze:

                - While the pork is searing, prepare the blackberry balsamic glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the fresh blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

                  - Using a fork, gently mash the blackberries to release their juices, mixing all the ingredients until well combined.

                    Glaze the Pork:

                      - Once the pork has a nice brown crust, carefully pour the blackberry balsamic glaze over the pork in the skillet, ensuring it is evenly coated.

                        Bake the Pork:

                          - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the pork for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). This will ensure the pork is cooked through but still juicy.

                            Rest and Serve:

                              - After removing the skillet from the oven, allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes. This resting period lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it tender.

                                - Slice the pork into medallions and drizzle with the extra blackberry glaze from the skillet. For an elegant touch, garnish with additional fresh blackberries.

                                    15 minutes | 50 minutes | 6 servings

                                      Presentation Tips: Serve the sliced pork on a large platter, artfully arranged with juicy blackberries scattered around, and drizzle extra glaze over the top for a beautiful finish. Consider pairing with sautéed greens or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
