Reviews
I needed a pork tenderloin recipe with ingredients I had on-hand and came upon this one. The pork was juicy and flavorful. I had to sauté at a higher temp for the sauce to thicken, that’s the only change I made. We served it with mashed potatoes and broccoli but it would definitely be good with rice or pasta. Or grits. A salad. Anything.
This was really good. I'd give it 4 stars the first time and 5 for the leftovers. I waited to review it until I ate it the second day since the only other reviewer said it tasted even better the next day. The reviewer was right! The first night, the sauce was thinner than I liked, even though I added extra slurry and I also wanted more of delicious sauce. Before reheating it the second time, I mixed up a little more of the sauce mixture, included corn starch and whisked it all together. I poured it over the leftovers and reheated it in the Instant Pot on Sauté Low for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Super! I made no other changes and I'll make this again I served it with a side or tortellini.
This recipe is tender and delicious and tastes even better the next day. It reheats well if you have leftovers, which is unlikely. I'll definitely make this again.
