Ginger and Soy Pork Tenderloin

PORK TENDERLOIN

Ingredients:

1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin

3 T light brown sugar

3 T low sodium soy sauce

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 T fresh ginger

1 T rice vinegar

2 t dark sesame oil

1/2 t salt

1. Place pork and marinade in a ziploc bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

2. Heat a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the tenderloins and sear, turning to ensure even browning, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the oven and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Alternatively, heat a grill to medium-hot. Grill the tenderloins, turning several times, for 25 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

ROASTED POTATOES AND CAULIFLOWER

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Place the potatoes and cauliflower in a large bowl. Coat with about 3 T of olive oil, and some garlic salt.

3. Spread veggies on a foil covered baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until tender.
