For an even richer flavor, consider marinating the pork tenderloin in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before searing. If fresh blueberries are in season, feel free to use them instead of frozen. You may need to adjust the cooking time of the glaze slightly. A splash of dry red wine added to the glaze enhances the depth of flavor. Add it along with the balsamic vinegar. Pair this dish with roasted vegetables such as asparagus or Brussels sprouts for a complete and balanced meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Pork: Season the pork tenderloin medallions generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepSear the Pork: Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear on all sides until golden brown, creating a beautiful crust. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes, about 1-1.5 minutes per side).
03
StepCook the Pork: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and continue cooking until the pork is just cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). (Cook time: 5-7 minutes).
04
StepPrepare the Glaze: While the pork cooks, in a small saucepan, combine the frozen blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepThicken the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. Add this slurry to the blueberry mixture. (Prep time: 1 minute)
06
StepSimmer the Glaze: Bring the glaze to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes).
07
StepServe: Slice the pork tenderloin medallions and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the blueberry-balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
