This pork tenderloin is extra flavorful, thanks to a marinade that does double duty as a basting sauce. A warm apple jelly mixed with sherry and soy sauce adds the finishing touch.
Ingredients
Sauce
- ¾ cup apple jelly
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Pork
- ½ cup dry sherry
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, minced
- 2 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard powder, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
Marinate the pork: Whisk sherry, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a large glass baking dish.
Step 2
Rub pork with mustard powder and thyme, then transfer to the bowl with marinade. Turn pork until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
Step 3
When ready to cook the pork, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove pork from the refrigerator and uncover; leave marinade in the dish.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the marinade, until pork is slightly pink in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Step 5
When the pork is almost finished, make the sauce: Heat apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Stir in sherry and soy sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently until pork is ready.
Step 6
Slice pork tenderloin and serve warm apple jelly sauce over top.
Tips
If your tenderloin is not 2 1/2 pounds, bake it for about 25 minutes per pound.
