Rosemary Balsamic Pork Tenderloin

Put a little fancy in your weeknight dinner with this easy roasted Rosemary Balsamic Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes.

Your friends and family will think you spent hours in the kitchen making this moist, flavor-packed Rosemary Balsamic Pork Tenderloin. The truth is that it’s an easy dinner to make on any weeknight. I love using pork tenderloin because it’s a great based for any type of marinade and you can pan sear it, grill it or even roast it.

While I wish I was a gardener, I just don’t have much of a green thumb. But when it comes to growing fresh herbs, I’ve got that down. One of the easiest and most prolific herbs to grow is fresh rosemary. The woodsy and strong aroma is one of my favorite aromatics. Rosemary  goes well with all types of meats and potatoes.

I also used a small jar of Dijon mustard that I recently bought in Paris to lightly garnish the pork tenderloin and give it a bit more tang in the flavor profile.
