Pork Tenderloin
This pork tenderloin is extra flavorful, thanks to a marinade that does double duty as a basting sauce. A warm apple jelly mixed with sherry and soy sauce adds the finishing touch.
Ingredients
-
½ cup dry sherry
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, minced
-
2 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
-
⅛ teaspoon dry mustard powder, or to taste
-
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
-
¾ cup apple jelly
-
2 tablespoons dry sherry
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Description
-
Marinate the pork: Whisk sherry, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a large glass baking dish.
-
Rub pork with mustard powder and thyme, then transfer to the bowl with marinade. Turn pork until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
-
When ready to cook the pork, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove pork from the refrigerator and uncover; leave marinade in the dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the marinade, until pork is slightly pink in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
-
When the pork is almost finished, make the sauce: Heat apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Stir in sherry and soy sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently until pork is ready.
-
Slice pork tenderloin and serve warm apple jelly sauce over top.
