  • About

The tenderloin is the thin strip of meat that lies underneath the loin. It is among the leanest and tenderest of all meat cuts. This is a quick, flavorful dish; take care not to overcook the pork.

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins, well trimmed (8 to 10 ounces each)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Method

  • Place the pork tenderloins on a shallow platter. Combine the garlic, orange zest, thyme, and black pepper in a small bowl and work into a paste with a fork. Rub the paste into the surfaces of the pork tenderloins. Stir the orange juice and vinegar together and pour over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the pork occasionally.
  • Heat the oven to 42
