Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups dry sherry
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic , minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root , minced
• 2.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 0.13 teaspoons dry mustard powder , or to taste
• 0.13 teaspoons dried thyme

Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the pork: Whisk sherry, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a large glass baking dish.

2. 2

   Rub pork with mustard powder and thyme, then transfer to the bowl with marinade. Turn pork until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.

3. 3

   When ready to cook the pork, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove pork from the refrigerator and uncover; leave marinade in the dish.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the marinade, until pork is slightly pink in the center, 60 to 65 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

5. 5

   When the pork is almost finished, make the sauce: Heat apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Stir in sherry and soy sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently until pork is ready.

6. 6

   Slice pork tenderloin and serve warm apple jelly sauce over top.
