Marinated pork tenderloins
Southern Living, Jun 1999 by Vann, Patty N
Marinating is a perfect way to impart additional flavor to pork. To speed up the process, pierce the tenderloins with a fork.
Robin Kline of the National Pork Council gives us some tips. "Always make sure the internal temperature reaches 160(deg), medium doneness, not the way grandmother used to cook it. And if you plan to baste your pork with marinade during cooking, make additional or set some aside before adding raw pork." Use only six ingredients to make one of Robin's favorite dishes, Coriander Pepper Pork Tenderloins.
