Quickie Recipe

Cut any fat off of pork tenderloin. Slit 6-7 holes 1/4 inch deep in different places and stuff them with garlic pieces. Marinate pork with olive oil and steak seasoning for 24 hours. Caramelize onions and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. In a cast iron skillet brown all sides of the pork (two minutes each side). Finish cooking in oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the vinegar by 2/3 and add the onions. Let pork rest after cooking for 5 minutes. Cut into pieces and drizzle with sauce.
