A good sauce or glaze can make or break a dish. When I was preparing my balsamic brown sugar pork tenderloin recipe, I didn't know my mind would be blown when I tasted the sauce and glaze. Mind. Blown. This sweet, vinegary concoction has the perfect balance of flavors, and it was hard to not keep tasting it right off the spoon!
Not surprisingly, this basting and serving sauce made the pork tenderloin amazing delicious and a recipe that will be cooked often for dinner now. But wait, why stop at pork? I imaged this sauce glazing bone-in or boneless chicken, steaks, meatloaf, ribs, as a burger sauce and even as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. The possibilities are endless.
To make this simple sweet balsamic glaze/sauce you need only four simple ingredients and some water. Here is what you need to grab from the pantry: brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and cornstarch. The sauce cooks up on the stovetop in about four minutes.
