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:
- Add oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, worcestershire, and pepper in plastic bag.
- Shake to mix.
- Add pork tenderloin to bag and marinade 4-24 hours.
- Cook on grill or oven.
- Oven setting is 375, usually 25 minutes per pound.
- Pork is done when thermometer reads between 140 and 160 degrees.
- I take mine out of the oven when it's at 140 and then let it rest, because when meat rests, it continues to cook and will reach a higher internal temperature.

Tips for Marinating Pork Tenderloin:
- Choose a marinade that complements the flavor of pork tenderloin. Common options include citrus-based marinades, herb-infused marinades, and Asian-inspired marinades.
- Use a non-reactive container for marinating, such as a glass or stainless steel bowl. Avoid using aluminum or iron containers, as they can react with the marinade and alter the flavor of the meat.
- Make sure the pork tenderloin is completely submerged in the marinade. If necessary, weigh it down with a plate or bowl to keep it fully immersed.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. Over-marinating can make the meat tough and bland.
- Before cooking, remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the meat brown evenly.
Conclusion:
Marinating pork tenderloin is a great way to add flavor and moisture to this lean cut of meat. With so many marinade options available, you can easily find a marinade that suits your taste preferences. Just remember to follow the tips above to ensure that your pork tenderloin turns out juicy and delicious.
