GINGER LIME PORK TENDERLOIN



Ginger Lime Pork Tenderloin image

I made this up one night with garlic mashed potatoes and my husband made me swear to include it in the rotation. It originated from a marinade my mother had for moose meat, but the lime and chili garlic sauce adds a fresh twist. Warning: I didn't measure; it's all approximations to your taste!

  • Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving, to allow the juices to redistribute.
