I found it in an old cookbook that I acquired from my mom (who I think got it at a yard sale or something). It is the 1993 edition of America's Best Recipes. I have two of these cookbooks and I have yet to find a recipe that wasn't an instant hit here. This tenderloin was no exception!
So, if you want to make this recipe yourself, just gather up the following:
2 pork tenderloins, plain
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced onion flakes
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 slices of bacon
For the sauce:
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon ground dry mustard
1 tablespoon minced onion flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place the tenderloins in a shallow dish (I just put them in a 13 X 9 baking pan). Mix up the soy sauce, water, garlic, onion, vinegar, and ground red pepper well. Pour the marinade over the tenderloins and marinate in the refridgerator for at least eight hours. Turn them every couple of hours.
After the eight hours, place one bacon strip on the top of each tenderloin, baste with the marinade and bake uncovered at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Make sure that you baste often during the cook time to keep the meat moist.
While it is cooking, whip up the tangy mustard sauce to go with it. Mix the mayo, sour cream, dry mustard, onion, vinegar, and salt in a bowl and then refrigerate to chill until you are ready to serve it.
When the tenderloin is done, you will have a flavorful, moist, TENDER meal ready to eat!
Trust me when I say, you may never cook tenderloin another way again after trying this recipe!
Yummy!
Hi Daisy, your blog is precious!
ReplyDeleteDo you have tips or suggestions on keeping the grocery bill low?
Thank you! :) For us, we have a tight budget that isn't really flexible as far as groceries go right now. This is what works for me:
Delete-use coupons as much as possible and pair them with the sales at the store (I don't use many coupons though because I only use them for something I would ordinarily buy and we don't eat too much in the way of processed, prepackaged foods)
-shop from your weekly grocery circular ad. I do make a loose menu plan, but I usually base my meals on what is actually on sale in the stores. I do my grocery shopping between 4 stores, but they are all within a short distance, so it isn't wasting gas to do so for us. I shop the best deals at each store
-when there is a great deal on something that you use regularly, stock up on it if you can afford it
-eat meatless meals (this is something we are just recently starting to incorporate more as DH is a carnivore with a capital C, so we are slowly adding more of these to our weekly meals)
-when you do serve meat, make it a part of the meal, not the main course. Meat is EXPENSIVE, and we really should eat more of the veggies anyhow!
-Eat casseroles, pastas, and soups/stews/chilis more often. For us, these meals stretch further than your traditional meat and sides dishes.
-Never waste a leftover! We eat them for lunch, or I build another meal out of them when I can. My husband also takes them to work for his lunch there
-stop buying prepackaged snacks/treats. I know it takes more time, but it is healthier (most of the time) and way cheaper to make your own (granola, crackers, cookies, etc)
-shop early! I learned recently that a few of the stores near me mark down the meats that are left from the day before first thing. You can get great deals and freeze the meat!
-make your own bread.
-don't shop hungry! It leads to more impulse buying! Make a list and stick to it!
-generic brands are mostly just as good as brand names, so make the switch if you can. My husband is brand specific about a few things, but mostly I go for the cheaper option.
That's loosely the points that I follow. I think you've made me decide to do a post on this soon! :) Thanks for stopping by!
