Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Marinated Pork Tenderloin

A few years ago my family went camping up in the Uintas. We got up there really late and it took a while to get set up and dinner started. My mom brought up the marinated pork tenderloin. By the time they were cooked we were all starving and they tasted so so so good. So, I wasn't sure if it was hunger that made it so good or if the stuff was really that great. Since then we have had it at several barbecues and even when we are not famished, the stuff still tastes great. This even won us some tickets to the movies (popcorn and drinks included) when we took it to the barbecue contest at Karl's work picnic.

I only make half the marinade and it makes plenty. I put it in Ziploc bag and put the whole thing in a bowl in fridge over night.

2-3 pork tenderloins sliced into 1 inch pieces

Marinade:
1 ½ c vegetable oil
¾ c. soy sauce
¼ Worcestershire sauce
2 T. Dijon mustard (Favorites uses dry)
1 T. pepper
½ c red wine vinegar
1 ½ T. dry parsley
1/3 c. lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms

Blend the above marinade ingredients in blender. Pour over tenderloins and marinate for 3 to 4 hours. Grill pork on the barbecue at medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning and basting occasionally. Add mushrooms to remaining marinade and heat. Slice tenderloins and pour marinade over top to serve.

*Note: Like lots of the stuff I make, this one is in the Favorites cookbook but I got the recipe from my mom who got it from someone else, who... well, probably got it from this cookbook.
