I found this really simple marinated pork tenderloin recipe and it is delicious. Super-easy to make and your family will love it. I actually chose this recipe originally because there were only a few ingredients, but once I made it I found that I really liked the taste. Even the kids said it tasted great.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp fresh ginger root, grated
- 2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
- * serve with sauteed shredded cabbage, optional
Instructions
- If pork tenderloin is in two parts, tie together with butchers string.
- Put the soy sauce, mustard, garlic, and ginger in a large ziploc plastic bag and shake to mix.
- Set the pork in the plastic bag and shake around to coat pork well.
- Place the pork in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours (overnight is fine), turning plastic bag over several times to make sure pork is marinaded evenly.
- To cook: Remove the pork from bag, letting marinade drip off; set pork in dish and evenly sprinkle with black pepper.
- Preheat grill or oven and cook until internal temperature of pork reaches 150 degrees.
- Remove and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices to serve.
- Will serve 4.
- For a side dish, saute shredded cabbage (cole slaw) in hot skillet until just tender. Sprinkle a touch of soy sauce in skillet and stir into cabbage to season.
