Pork Tenderloin

It's a pretty safe thing to say that I am a meat lover. I would never survive being a vegetarian because I honestly think that one of the greatest things in life is a delicious piece of meat.

This is the recipe as you will find it on Pinterest:

Pork Tenderloin

1⁄2 cups olive oil
1⁄3 cup soy sauce
1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tsp dry mustard
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1-lb. pork tenderloin

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Place meat in gallon sized Ziplock bag and pour marinade mix over meat. Marinade for at least 3-4 hours. 
Preheat oven to 350º
In a skillet over medium-heat sear each side for 2-3 min. Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 min. or till a meat thermometer reads 160º

*These are the adjustments I made:
Prepare the day before and allow the meat to marinade in the fridge overnight till you are ready to cook it. 
Instead of cooking in the oven I cooked mine on the BBQ

I may be an overzealous marinader but I'm not totally convinced 3-4 hours is enough. If you are in a pinch for time I am sure this is fine but if you are planning ahead why not make it in advance that way the taste of the marinade can really be soaked up and make the meat more tender.

The end result was pretty fantastic!
Ease: Thumbs up!
Cost: Thumbs up!
Overall Reaction: Thumbs up!
