Ingredients: 1 cup beer or ginger ale; 1/2 cup prepared mustard; 1/2 cup honey; 2 tablespoons canola oil; 2 tablespoons onion powder; 1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)

Mustard, honey and rosemary make a sensational marinade and sauce for these moist pork tenderloins from Kathy Kittell of Lenexa, Kansas. Whether prepared on the grill or in the oven, the recipe doesn't require much hands-on work.

Ingredients

1 cup beer or ginger ale
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Pour 1 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Lightly oil the grill rack. Prepare the grill for indirect heat using a drip pan. Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. If desired, serve with remaining marinade.

Although the pork was a bit expensive, this dish was still very tasty and delicious!

This recipe is delicious! I made it with the Rde and Sweet Potato salad on pg. 31 of the same issue.

I thought this recipe was very easy to make and had good flavor. I used fresh rosemary, which made it even more aromatic.
