Preparation

Set oven to 400°F. Pat pork tenderloins dry and season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme.

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat butter or tallow over medium-high. Add pork and sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Add garlic in the last 30 seconds, being careful not to burn.

In a small bowl, whisk balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and red pepper flakes.

Brush half of the glaze over pork. Transfer skillet to oven and roast 18–22 minutes, basting with remaining glaze halfway through, until pork reaches 145°F internal temperature.

Remove from oven, tent with foil, and rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Slice pork, drizzle with pan juices, and garnish with parsley or rosemary.

Additionally, practice scales for 10 minutes.
