Directions:
FOR THE PORK
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Sprinkle tenderloins evenly with salt and pepper; rub seasoning into meat.
3. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Place both tenderloins in skillet; cook until well browned, 3 minutes. Using tongs, rotate tenderloins 1/4 turn; cook until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all sides are browned.
4. Transfer tenderloins to rimmed baking sheet and place in oven (reserve skillet if making pan sauce); roast until internal temperature registers 135 to 140 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 12 to 18 minutes.

FOR THE SAUCE
1. Immediately after placing pork in oven, add 1 tablespoon butter to the still-hot skillet; when melted, stir in shallots, brown sugar, and water.
2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until shallots are browned and caramelized, 7 to 10 minutes; set skillet aside off heat.

3. While pork is resting, set skillet over medium-low heat and add vinegar; simmer, scraping up browned bits with wooden spoon, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Add rosemary and any accumulated pork juices; continue to simmer until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes longer.
5. Off heat, whisk in mustard and remaining 3 tablespoons butter, one piece at a time. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
6. Slice the Pork Tenderloins into thick medallions, serve with the balsamic - vinegar sauce.

I made this for Jan and I Sept 7, 2018. It was really good - Jan and I both said it was a do again - for C&G, S&H, etc. Followed the recipe exactly. It was a good thing to prepare - I did the browning first and stopped there and then made the sauce (next time I would keep the sauce in a small bowl and micro wave it to heat it just before serving it) So this is good to pre-prep. There were only two of us, so I cut everything in half and it worked fine.
I made this for Jan and son Tom on Thursday, Feb 9 and the both REALLY loved. I rewrote the recipe to be clearer and made a few incidental changes.
