Sage, Dijon, and Soy-Marinated Pork Tenderloin With Pistachio Couscous

November 29, 2016 by Tonja Leave a Comment

The flavors in this simple pork tenderloin preparation combined with the Pistachio couscous were a hit at our last family dinner.  In fact, I can’t wait to make this for guests.  Cooking the tenderloins right in the sauce keeps this pork extremely moist and the flavors seemed to seep right into the meat.  You probably have most of the ingredients on hand so impress yourself, and your palate with this new favorite pork recipe.

  2. Preheat oven to 350º. Spray an 11” x 17” baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Using a knife poke several holes in the tenderloins about a half-inch deep so marinade can penetrate.

  6. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes basting every 10-15 minutes.

  8. Thinly slice the tenderloins and transfer to a serving dish.
  9. Drizzle the marinade from the pan over the sliced pork medallions.
