This pork tenderloin is extra flavorful, thanks to a marinade that does double duty as a basting sauce. A warm apple jelly mixed with sherry and soy sauce adds the finishing touch.
Best Beef Dip Ever
This beef dip recipe is a favorite with all my family and friends. I refuse to give them the recipe because it is so easy. I love it when they keep asking for it! I often throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker and head to work. We all eat it when we get in the door. The au jus is great. Add beef to lightly toasted buns, then dip away in the au jus.
