Orange Pork Tenderloin

Submitted by Brookelynne26

"From Cook What You Love. I am submitting this recipe as it was written in the cookbook, but I just use the marinade alone. After 30 minutes the pork tenderloin has plenty of flavor. I think the orange marmalade sauce is just overkill, you really have to like the flavor of orange marmalade to enjoy the sauce."

ingredients

• Marinade

• 2 small garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1⁄4 cup orange juice
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 1 1⁄2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced in 1/2 inch thick

• Sauce

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 small garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2⁄3 cup orange marmalade

directions

1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients, using only 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, and marinate pork at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2. While pork is marinating, make the sauce. Heat oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add garlic and thyme and stir for 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and marmalade and heat until warmed through. Set aside.
3. Dry pork slices with paper towels and discard marinade. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saute pan over high heat. Cook pork until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
4. Arrange pork on platter and drizzle with sauce.
