Balsamic Pork Roast Recipes

BALSAMIC ROAST PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Trim silver skin or connective tissue off tenderloins with a very sharp thin knife.
• Place tender loins on a nonstick cookie sheet with a rim. Coat tenderloins in a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, rubbing vinegar into meat. Drizzle tenderloins with extra-virgin olive oil, just enough to coat. Cut small slits into meat and disperse chunks of cracked garlic cloves into meat. Combine steak seasoning blend or coarse salt and pepper with rosemary and thyme and rub meat with blend. Roast in hot oven 20 minutes.
• Let meat rest, transfer to a carving board, slice and serve.

CROCK POT BALSAMIC PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Season the pork with salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and place it into the slow cooker.
• Mix together the broth, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce and pour it over the pork.
• Pour the honey over and set the timer for 4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on low.
• Once the pork is cooked and tender (it should shred easily with a fork), remove from slow cooker with tongs into a serving dish.
• Break apart lightly with two forks and put back into the slow cooker.
• Ladle 1/2 cup sauce over the pork and keep warm until ready to eat.

BALSAMIC-BAKED ONIONS AND POTATOES WITH ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the potatoes into a pan of boiling, salted water and cook for around 8 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Chuff them up a bit by shaking the pan.
• To prepare the meat, scatter a handful of finely chopped rosemary leaves over a large chopping board. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and the ground fennel seeds. Roll the pork across the board, pressing down hard so all the flavorings stick to it.
• Get a large roasting pan that your pork will fit snugly into, and place it on a burner over a medium-high heat. Pour in a little olive oil and place the pork in, fat side down, sprinkled with any flavorings remaining on the board. After a few minutes, when the pork fat is lightly golden, turn it over and add the garlic cloves, onion, celery and bay leaves to the pan. Place on the bottom shelf of your preheated oven for 1 hour, basting it halfway through. (For the last 20 minutes of cooking, you may need to cover the pork with a bit of damp waxed paper to stop it coloring too much.)
• Get another roasting pan, into which you can fit the potatoes in 1 layer, and heat it on the stove. When hot, pour a glug of olive oil into it and add the butter, rosemary and garlic. Add the potatoes and toss them in all the flavors. Add the onions and all the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on the burner to reduce the balsamic vinegar a little. Place the pan on the top shelf and cook for around 50 minutes, until the potatoes and onions are dark, sticky and crispy - removing the pan to toss the onions and potatoes halfway through.
• After 1 hour, the meat should be cooked. Prick it with a sharp knife - if the juices run clear, it's done; if not, pop it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping the potatoes warm. Remove it from the oven and let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes. Pour away most of the fat from the pan and mash up the garlic and onion. Place the pan over the burner and add the white wine. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, scraping all the meaty, marmitey goodness off the bottom to make a tasty little sauce, and season if necessary. Pass through a sieve into a serving pitcher. Then slice the pork and serve it with your incredible baked onions and potatoes, drizzled with the pan juices. This meal goes great with some nice greens or an arugula salad.

BALSAMIC ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Dissolve steak seasoning in balsamic vinegar, then stir in olive oil. Place pork into a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade overtop. Squeeze out air and seal bag; marinate 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pork into a glass baking dish along with marinade. Bake in preheated oven, basting occasionally until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

SLOW COOKER BALSAMIC PORK ROAST WITH SCALLOPED POTATOES AND EASY STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cook the pork: Rub the salt and pepper over the pork. Place the pork in a slow cooker and pour the vinegar over the top. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
• About an hour before the pork is done, make the scalloped potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a 2-quart square baking dish, toss the potatoes with the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, thyme, sage, and pepper. Arrange the potato slices in even layers in the baking dish, overlapping the potatoes in each layer slightly, then pour the cream over the top. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the baking dish, top the potatoes evenly with the cheese, and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until the cheese is bubbling.
• Just before serving, steam the broccoli: Place the broccoli in a large glass bowl and add about ¼ cup water. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. (Alternatively, place the broccoli in a medium pot and add ¼ cup water. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook the broccoli for 10 minutes, or until tender.) Drain the broccoli and transfer to a serving dish. Add the butter, salt, and pepper and gently toss to combine. Cover and keep hot until serving time.
• When the pork is done cooking, baste it with the vinegar mixture in the slow cooker. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cut it in half. Slice one portion and set it aside. Shred the remaining pork either with two forks or using a stand mixer, then transfer it to an airtight container (you should have about 3 cups), and refrigerate for another use.
• Serve the sliced pork with the scalloped potatoes and broccoli alongside.

• Remove pork loins and potatoes from crock pot, set aside and keep warm.
• Move 2 cups of cooking liquid to a wide skillet, add remaining pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and marmalade. Reduce liquid to about 1 cup.
• Slice pork loin, drizzle with pan sauce, serve with potatoes and maybe a nice spinach salad. Enjoy!

BEST BALSAMIC MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour balsamic mixture on top to coat. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Place the bag in a container to avoid leaks, and marinate in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Place pork in a roasting pan or baking dish. Reserve marinade.
• Roast pork in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork from the oven, place on a cutting board, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.
• While pork is resting, pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the roasted tenderloin.
