Oh Mommy! Pork Tenderloin

My friend brought us this after we had our baby, and I finally remembered to get the recipe! Too bad it needs to marinate, I guess I'll have to make it tomorrow instead of today. It was SOO yummy when she brought it to us, and the drippings made great gravy.

  • 5 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin pieces (or larger piece and adjust cooking time appropriately)

Mix all ingredients in a large ziploc bag. Add the meat.
Marinate in the fridge for as long as possible. Mine was about 4.5 hours
Cook uncovered in a pan sprayed with cooking spray for 25-35 minutes at 425, or until it reaches 160 degrees.
Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serve with the pan drippings (or make gravy like we did).
