Steps:
- Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

Steps:
- Place pork tenderloin in large ziploc bag.
- Peel and lightly crush garlic.
- Add garlic and ginger to bag.
- Whisk together soy sauce, olive oil and brown sugar in medium mixing bowl.
- Pour over pork tenderloin.
- Marinate in ziploc bag in fridge for up to 3 days.
- (3 days= the most tender pork you've ever had) Remove from bag and discard marinade.
- Grill on BBQ or broil in oven until medium (about 15 minutes).
- Very dark and tasty with a light pink centre.
- Great over rice or with baked potatoes and grilled asparagus.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork tenderloin. Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a light pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are brown or have any signs of bruising.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your pork tenderloin its flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a marinade that contains a variety of herbs, spices, and liquids, such as olive oil, vinegar, or wine.
- Let the pork tenderloin marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the pork tenderloin, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the pork tenderloin for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium heat. High heat will cause the pork tenderloin to dry out, so it's important to cook it over medium heat. This will allow the pork tenderloin to cook evenly and thoroughly without overcooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the pork tenderloin should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit when it is cooked. Once the pork tenderloin reaches this temperature, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook a pork tenderloin that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Enjoy!
