Margarita Rosemary Pork Tenderloin
- 2 whole Oranges
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Herbes De Provence
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil
- 1/2 cups Water
- 1- 1/2 cup Margaritas (not the mix, and with no ice)
- 5 stalks Rosemary
- 2 whole Pork Tenderloin, Trimmed
- First, zest the oranges and place the zest in a plastic bag for marinating.
- Then add the juice from one of the oranges.
- Add the salt, herbs de Provence, olive oil, water and margaritas.
- Take 2 rosemary stalks and remove the leaves, chopping once to release some of the aroma.
- Place the remaining rosemary stalks and the released leaves both in the marinade bag.
- Add the trimmed pork tenderloin and leave it for two hours.
- Turn.
- Leave for another two hours.
- Place the pork in a baking dish.
- (I arranged mine in a circle within a pie dish.
- That way the narrow ends would meet and overlap, so that part wouldnt be overdone.)
- Reserve the marinade.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
- Check to see if almost done.
- Were not finished with the cooking yet ... so keep it on the underdone side.
- You dont want tenderloin to overcook.
- It should be very soft to the touch, but the juices should be almost clear.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1-inch rounds and place on a cookie sheet.
- Then pour the reserved marinade over the rounds and broil (3-5 inches away from the broiler) for a couple of minutes ... maybe 5 minutes?
- You be the judge.
- Mine took a whopping five minutes, but I think that might be too much sometimes.
- I like a little pink in mine, and it was perfect.
- Serve immediately, with green beans and roasted rosemary potatoes.
- Mmm.
- Then let the compliments come!
