Thyme crusted pork tenderloin with pears

Ingredients 

-

1 Pork tenderloin (I used 1 lb)

Salt and pepper to taste 

1 Tbs of Olive oil 

1 medium red onion

3 pears (I used Bartlett pears), do not peel, cut in long slices

3 Tbs of balsamic vinegar
2 Tbs of organic honey

Fresh thyme (about 8-10 sprigs)

Preheat oven to 400º

Rub pork with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil to an OVEN SAFE pan over medium-high heat.
Sear pork, turning occasionally until brown.
Remove pork from pan and set aside on a plate.
Add onions and sliced pears to the hot pan with the left over pork fat
and saute for two minutes.
Return pork to the pan and drizzle honey and balsamic vinegar
over the pork and pears.
Transfer pan into the oven to roast for about 25-30 minutes.

Transfer pork into aluminum foil, make a tent to cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer pork to cutting board, cut into 1/2 inch slices and divide into
small plates.
Add pears, onions and finish off with a drizzle from the glaze in your pan.
