Recipe adapted from Rachael Ray

Ingredients

• 6 ounces pork tenderloin
• 4 tablespoons Olde Bay's Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing
• 4 tablespoons EVOO
• 6 cloves garlic, cracked
• 1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend (or coarse salt and black pepper)
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves, stripped and finely chopped
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and finely chopped (I had to use 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme instead.)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
2. Trim fat from the pork tenderloin.
3. Place tenderloin in a medium bowl and massage balsamic into the meat. 
4. Combine the steak seasoning wiht rosemary and thyme.  With tenderloin on the cutting board, use a rub the meat with the blend.  Coat both sides with EVOO and any excess balsamic.
5. Cut small slits into the meat and disperse chunks of cracked garlic cloves into the meat.
6. Roast in the oven for 20-22 minutes.

** I added Roasted Balsamic Sweet Potatoes to this dish by surrounding the pork with tossed sweet potatoes while roasting.  YUM.
