Transfer the pork to the lined baking sheet.
• Roast the seared tenderloin in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.

FIG AND BALSAMIC PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F. Grease a cast-iron skillet with a bit of oil and set aside. (Alternately, you can use a rimmed baking sheet. Brush some oil on the baking sheet, as well).
• Prepare the pork tenderloin by removing any visible fat and removing the silverskin. Brush pork with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Place into a prepared pan or baking sheet, placing it along the side or at the end, if cooking potatoes alongside. Tuck the thin end of the tenderloin under, so that the pork is evenly thick from end to end.
• (If cooking potatoes alongside, halve or cube the potatoes, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place into the skillet or onto the baking sheet, cut side down.)
• Place into preheat oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork registers 145F when measured with an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are golden.
• Remove from oven. Remove the potatoes to a bowl and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Remove the pork to a plate to rest while you make the sauce.
• In the same skillet you used to cook the pork (or a fresh skillet if you cooked on a baking sheet), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots or onion and cook, stirring until softened. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar and fig jam. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until sauce reduces and thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Add a few thyme leaves to the sauce, if using.
• Return pork to the pan and re-warm, flipping it over a couple of times to coat with sauce. Remove pork to a plate and spoon warm sauce over-top or alternately, slice pork, then spoon sauce over-top. Serve with roasted potatoes.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large skillet, I use 12" skillet, pour enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Sweat the garlic and onion together, do not burn the garlic, it will become too nutty. Once the garlic and onion is cooked down, the onion is tranparent, remove from the oil and place in a 9X13 pan. I usually take the ground pepper and salt and mix them together so that coating the pork is easier. Take the pork out of the vacume sealed bag, rinse and pat dry. Take the salt and pepper and pat onto the pork, sear on all sides. After searing on all sides, place in the 9X13 pan on top of the garlic and onions. Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar, reduce and then pour over the pork, onions, and garlic. Place in middle rack for about 20-25 minutes until middle of pork is about medium well to well done.
• When serving, I slice the pork and then take the glaze and onion/garlic mixture and pour over the pork. It's delicious -- ENJOY.
