Zesty Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloins are one of my favorite cuts of meat, and probably one of the easiest to actually cook. Also, unlike other cuts of pork, like pork chops, I find tenderloins a lot harder to overcook!

Adapted from Betty Crocker "Country Cooking"
4 servings

Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (roughly 3/4-1lb)
1/8 cup ketchup
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp water
1/2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1. Combine all ingredients, except the pork, in a medium mixing bowl.

2. Add pork, coating it in the marinade.

3. Cover and refrigerate anywhere from 1-24 hours. I marinated mine for roughly 5 hours while I was at class.

4. Preheat oven to 450F degrees.

5. Place pork in a shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered for roughly 25 minutes, or until the pork reads 160F degrees in the center.

6. Enjoy!
