I am always looking for good recipes to use for Pork Tenderloin. There’s just something not too exciting about a pork tenderloin. Well, tonight I stand corrected! This recipe is really delicious and easy to prepare with the typical fridge ingredients. I bet it would be even better on the barbeque! I served it with Cilantro Jasmine Rice & Steamed Broccoli kicked up with a tablespoon of garlic. Enjoy!!
