DH says this is the most tender pork tenderloin I've ever cooked - and I've cooked some he has loved over the years. Have to admit to a few changes brought on by lack of attention. Think I added 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire instead of 1; just used the juice of one lemon; used olive oil instead of vegetable; and, since I dumped the marinade when removing the pork from it and was afraid it would dry out some while cooking, brushed a glaze of honey over the top before the last 20 minutes of cooking. Also used 2 lbs of tenderloin (that's just how much came in the package) without any additional marinade and had plenty. Marinated for 4 hours. Easy, tender, tasty, and would have been quite healthy without the addition of honey, but still . . . Thanks for sharing!

Made for Healthy Choices ABC. This was excellent. Can't wait for it to get warm enough to cook this on the grill. Thanks for posting!
