This was very moist, though I did make two mistakes. Instead of marinating this for 2 hrs. I marinated this overnight, the 2nd mistake made was that I didn't read the reviews! I would have used lower sodium soy sauce and increased the amt. of pineapple juice because we did find this saltier than we care for. Served this w/recipe#99322 and recipe#43023

Just love pork tenderloin and this was an easy but flavored packed dish. I marinated my pork for 4 hours before cooking. Used my favorite technique of searing the tenderloin in a cast iron skillet then baking at very high heat for 14 minutes. At first I felt the sauce was too salty, even though I used low sodium soy sauce, but on the meat and the broccoli I made to accompany the dish it was just perfect.

Delicious!! This tenderloin was flavorful and tender, and the sauce was fantastic. I marinated the meat for about 3-1/2 hours and grilled it on the B-B-Q. My tenderloin was pretty thick, so I ended up grilling it for about 20+ mins. per side to get it done in the middle. My family loved this and gave it 2-thumbs up. Thank you Kymmarie!

Great taste with little effort! Plates were cleaned in an instant. :-) I made 1/2 recipe for 340 g tenderloin medallions and broiled them in the oven. Used about half of the water/cornstarch mixture for the sauce. I did find the sauce could have used a bit more sweeteness, but then again, some of the sugar was left behind in the bowl I mixed the marinade in, so perhaps I just should have been more patient and stirred until all of it had dissolved! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
