Pork Tenderloin

I did experiment with the time to marinate and found 24 hours is by far the best

Ingredients:

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon thyme
• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

1. Mix garlic, salt, pepper & thyme in small bowl.
2. Rub mixture over tenderloin and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Heat olive oil over med. high heat. and brown pork on all sides, approximately 7 minute total.
4. Remove pork and place in a 9x13x2 pan.
5. Add enough water to come up to bottom edge of pork (about a half inch). I rinse my frying pan and scrape blackened bits for water.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for approximately 45 to 50 minutes.
7. Boil the drippings and add a little cornstarch mixed with water to it for gravy. Season with salt & pepper. Good with mashed potatoes.
