Roast Pork Loin with Balsamic Rosemary Sauce

Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 30 minutes; Serves 8
Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins (12 to 16 oz each)
1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
¾ cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle tenderloins evenly with salt and pepper; rub seasoning into meat.
2. Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Place both tenderloins in skillet and cook until well browned – about 3 minutes. Using tongs, rotate tenderloins ¼ turn; cook until well browned 1- 2 minutes. Repeat until all sides are browned.
3. Transfer tenderloins to a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven. Roast until internal temperature reaches 135 – 140 degrees on an instant read thermometer, 10 – 16 minutes.
4. Begin making pan sauce: add 1T butter to still hot skillet. When melted, stir in shallots, brown sugar and water. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until shallots are browned and caramelized, 7 to 10 minutes. Set skillet aside.
5. Take pork loins out of the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest until internal temperature registers 145 – 150 degrees – 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Put skillet back on medium-low heat and add vinegar, simmer scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon until mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add rosemary and any accumulated pork juices; continue simmering until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup – about 2 minutes longer. Off heat, whisk in mustard and remaining 3T butter one piece at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Slice tenderloins crosswise into ½ inch thick slices. Arrange on platter or individual plates and spoon sauce over; serve immediately
