Submitted by Beth Brogan

"From "Everyday Food". Easy, quick and delicious. Great for a weeknight meal, but definitely company-worthy. I usually double the sauce because it's so good."

I would give this 10 stars if I could! My sister submitted it and first gave this recipe to me last year - since then I have made it many times, always with foolproof results. It is easy to make but you would never guess it from the presentation and taste. It is the ONLY way I make pork tenderloin now. And yes the sauce is so good that I also double it! Thanks Beth for sharing it! Lor
