Not only odes this easy entree taste awesome, but it's good for you, too. A little brown sugar, ground ginger and Dijon mustard help give the moist tenderloin its incredible flavor, and the tangy salsa can be made in no time. —Nicole Pickett Oro Valley, Arizona

All I have to say is this was Amazing! I've tired it with both green and red peppers. The red look more appealing, but I perfer the taste with the green. Both ways are great!
