Pork Tenderloin Marinade


Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil (I used 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons).)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (I used frozen Dorot.)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (I used 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (I didn't use/find necessary because the Italian Seasoning has rosemary in it.)
  • 2-2.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and silver skin


Directions:

  • Make marinade: Combine ingredients for marinade (olive oil to pepper) in a bowl. Whisk well.
  • Add pork: Place trimmed pork tenderloin + rosemary spring in freezer bag and pour marinade on top. Close bag well, releasing air, then lightly massage marinade into pork.
  • Marinate: Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, and up to 3 days.
  • Cook: Remove pork tenderloin from bag, discarding marinade, rosemary, and bag. 
    Oven instructions:
    Sear tenderloin on stove in an oven-safe skillet over high heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Then, transfer to a 400°F oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
    Grilling instructions:
    Grill pork tenderloin over high direct heat, covered, for 5-7 minutes per side. Then, move to indirect heat and finish grilling until it reaches your desired internal temperature.

    For either method, cook tenderloin until cooked to a minimum temperature of 145°F, followed by a 3-10 minute rest.  Slice to serve.  If desired, sprinkle with fresh, Italian flat-leaf parsley.
