Lemony-Soy Herbed Pork Tenderloins

Submitted by BeccaB3c

"This is a delicious pork recipe that I found in the August of 2004 Midwest Living magazine. The marinade can be used on chicken as well! The first time I made this, I halved the recipe and used 6 boneless pork loin chops. The preparation time includes time to marinate."
