Steps
Tenderloin Preparation:
Combine marinade ingredients in a measuring cup and whisk to combine. Pour
over pork tenderloin in a plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
When you’re ready to cook the tenderloin, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake in an open pan for approximately 40-45 minutes or until internal temperature is 145 degrees F. Allow meat to rest about 3 minutes before cutting into 2-inch serving pieces. Drizzle a small amount of the meat juices from cooking over each piece of meat. Serve with the root vegetables.
Root Vegetable Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel and cut root vegetables into large chunks. Arrange in a roasting pan and season with olive oil and House Seasoning. Roast until tender; first check vegetables for doneness after 25 minutes and then every 10 minutes thereafter. Serve with the pork.
