Cilantro and Soy Marinated Pork Tenderloin

August 10, 2020 · 1 Comment

Sliced pork tenderloin

It is the Sunday after an extended 4th of July weekend family vacation.  This means that we have spent the last 4 days eating delicious and not so good for you stuff like hot dogs, hamburgers and too many mayonnaise-filled side dishes for me to count.  So tonight, as we get home and start a brand new week, it is time for some really lean meat and fresh veggies to make us feel a little less lethargic.  The lean meat in question tonight is pork tenderloin and I just happened to have a few hours left before dinner, perfect timing!  My favorite thing to do with this cut of meat is to mix up a simple, but potent marinade.  Pork tenderloin soaks up said marinade rather quickly, producing a juicy and really flavorful main course in as little as a two hour soak. Got a few hours before dinner?  Yeah, you have time, let’s do it.
