Directions

Combine marinade ingredients in a measuring cup and whisk to combine. Pour over pork tenderloin in a plastic bag. Marinate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 45 minutes or until meat is 145 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Very easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I marinated the tenderloin for 3 hours and omitted the cinnamon. Seared it in a cast iron skillet and finished it in the... oven for about 25 minutes (internal temp of 135). Let it rest for 10 minutes (the temp came up to 145). Do not overcook a pork tenderloin. Will make again.Read more

Good crowd pleaser
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I did not add any salt (soy sauce was enough) and only used a sprinkle of cinnamon. I let the pork marinate for only 2 hours... (which was enough-- I wouldn't recommend overnight) I also cooked the root veggies in the same dish as the pork which resulted in the potatoes being slightly undercooked (carrots were good though). End result, my dinner party of 6 all enjoyed it very much. They gobbled up the whole tenderloin. My personal opinion, I think the marinade is a little... hmmm, corny? Not actually corn-tasting, but just tasted contrived; over the top. It reminded me of the flavoring you might get from a teriyaki-flavored mass-produced beef jerky. Very tasty, no doubt, but that's all I was tasting. It over-powered the flavor of the pork. I think it was the soy sauce. I would use less, =OR= add some cayenne pepper and turn this into a Caribbean jerk marinade. Overall; easy to make, crowd-pleaser. But if you have a top-notch cut of pork, don't ruin it with this marinade.Read more

Great, Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love Pork Tenderloin, but my boys don't care much for it. But when I made this recipe, they couldn't get enough. Great... Recipe just as written. I roasted Carrots in the same pan as the Pork, and they turned out great. I also only marinated the pork for 6 hours. I also made rice Pilaf as a side. Thanks Paula for the great recipe.Read more

oooooo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This pork was incredibly easy to make, inexpensive and absolutely delicious. My partner's reaction to this made Meg Ryan seem... only mildly excited in the diner scene in When Harry Met Sally. I have to wrestle him away from the remaining piece so that we will have some leftovers. I added a few orange slices, which complimented the ginger and other flavors nicely. Read more

Oh my goodness
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This pork dish is the most delicious pork I have made in a very long time. I marinaded it for 6 hours and it melted in my... mouth. My husband loved the meat but since he loves root vegetables, he felt they were a little dry. I will steam them next time. This is definately a keeper. Thanks, Paula!!Read more
