15 oil-cured black olives, pitted
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, halved and deseeded
4 fresh mushrooms
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon browning sauce

Steps:

  • Slice the pork tenderloin open the long way. Spread the mustard, minced garlic and chopped olives in the roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper all-over, to taste. Tie the loin at 1-inch intervals to shape evenly into a roll. Refrigerate and marinate loin for 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a light pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are slimy or have a dark color.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin before cooking: This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. There are many different marinades you can use, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is always a good choice.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the meat is cooked through but still juicy. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides: Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
