Soy Citrus Pork Tenderloin Marinade


Pretty excited about this one! My husband says it's the most tender and best-tasting pork tenderloin we've had, and we eat tenderloin at least once a week. With only about 120 calories per serving, 0 carbs, and 22g of protein, this is one of the leanest meats to eat.

The important thing with this marinade is making sure you marinate it over night. I like to cut a few slits in the tenderloin so that the marinade soaks in really well. This will make the meat very tender.

Something else with pork. You can cook according the directions on the package. I like to cook at a lower temperature for a longer time, this makes it so it's not cooked on the outside but not inside (hey, this is a thick piece of meat we're dealing with.) Just make sure you get at least to 140-145 degrees (preferably 150-155) before taking it out of the oven. This makes sure that any thing that needs to be killed is.

Oh, and I didn't measure. Just stuck in a gallon freezer bag with the following ingredients.

Marinade:
Olive oil
Lite soy sauce
Juice of one lime
Worcestershire sauce (just a few dashes of this)
Rosemary (fresh preferred, but rosemary dried is ok)
Honey (around 2 T.)
Oregano (just a pinch)
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
