Yum! I haven’t ate pork in over ten years, but I remember how good Pork tenderloin was and that looks and sounds really delish. I loved brown fried rice and grilled veggies paired with it,

Oh this looks delicious! Bonus is that anything grilled is hubbies domain!
I made this last night it was delicious. I thought I had pork – but didn’t so I used chicken. Delicious. I use this idea of a marinade often (just never thought to put in honey).

very nice, I am going to make this the texture and aroma must be devine
Omgosh this sounds delicious! My husband makes a mean pork loin, so I’m going to have to give him a peek at this one!
This sounds delicious!
I love new pork recipes, this looks sooo tasty!
i love tender loin pork i have to try this reciepe out for dinner on a Sunday night
Love pork tenderloin. don’t have a grill so will cook on stovetop,
After I whipped up the marinade, I gave it a try and it was SOOOOOO good. Thanks for this recipe, a tenderloin is ready to go in the freezer with this beautiful mixture. Based on the fact, that I gave it a taste before adding it to the pork, I say it would make a great salad dressing.
Lisa – I agree – it is divine! Great idea as a salad dressing too – will give that a try this weekend!
I have this marinating now, however a lovely thunderstorm has rolled in. Has anyone tried this in the oven? Results?
*I see this is a rather old post but I’m looking forward to making this recipe!
Yes! I’ve modified it for the oven too. Just as delicious!
How would you cook in the oven?? I’m thinking an average size tenderloin would take about 20-25 min? I cook a yummy dry rubbed tenderloin for 5 minutes in a 450 oven and then drop the temp to 300 for 15-20 min! Would that work with this recipe too? I have everything mixed and marinating and it smells so flavorful!
Hannah – I usually bake at 350 for 45 minutes or 400 for 30 minutes. Then I take the juices and boil them in a pan on top of the stove with 2 tbsp of brown sugar to make a thick glaze.
What modifications did you make for the oven?
I bake it in the oven then use the pan drippings to make a sauce by boiling it down and adding brown sugar.
I made this tonight and it was so delicious. Followed the recipe exactly as written. Our Twin 18 year old grandsons could not stop eating it. I made an extra recipe of the marinade and heated it for a gravy. Outsatanding!

Yum! Great idea – we often make it as a pan sauce too.
Help! Question – I accidentally bought a 1-1/2 lb pork loin instead of tenderloin! Eek! How can I cook this? It’s marinating now!
I would recommend cooking it in the oven and making a pan sauce to go over top.
