Pork Tenderloin in Marinade

 This recipe is from Le Creme de la Crumb. The instructions are for grilling the meat, but it was getting dark so I cooked it in the oven at 450 instead. It still came out very good, so either is an option.

  • 1.5-2.0 pounds pork tenderloin (I think mine was 1.5 AND I bought a pork loin (not tenderloin) by mistake but it was still good)
  • juice of half a lemon (I used 1 T bottled lemon juice)
  • 2 t minced garlic
  • 1 t Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 C olive oil
  • 0.5 t salt
  • 0.125 t (1/8) cracked black pepper
  • 2 t dijon mustard
  • 2 t honey
Pat tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
Mix marinade ingredients and pour half in ziplock bag with meat
Marinate for 30 minutes
Roast or grill for 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 145 degrees, turning at least once and basting during cooking.
Let sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.
