Orange Sesame Roast Pork Tenderloin

This tasty pork tenderloin entrée can be roasted or grilled. To grill, prepare banked medium-hot fire in covered kettle-style grill. Grill whole tenderloins over indirect heat for 15 to 20 minutes.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 whole pork tenderloins, about 2 pounds total
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Directions:

1. Place tenderloins in large self-sealing bag.
2. In small bowl stir together remaining ingredients; pour half over tenderloins, seal bag and refrigerate 8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and reserve remaining marinade (at room temperature) for basting.
3. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
4. Remove tenderloins from bag, discarding bag with marinade. Place tenderloins in shallow roasting pan; roast for 20 minutes until internal temperature (measured with a meat thermometer) reaches 150°F to 155°F (approximately 65°C), basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
5. Let tenderloins rest 5 minutes before slicing to serve.

Makes 4 servings.
