Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  3. Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.

  4. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and discard leftover marinade. Heat an oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 ½ teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  5. In a separate bowl, toss the grapes with the balsamic vinegar until coated. Add grapes to the roasting pan with the pork.

  6. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin for about 15–20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and the grapes are slightly caramelized and juicy.

  7. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
