A wonderful overnight marinade makes the pork so flavorful - serve with the delicious, creamy mustard sauce. A super dish for buffets and potlucks, as it doesn't need to be piping hot. I never cease to get many recipe requests for this one!
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (optional)
PREPARATION:
Combine wine, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Place tenderloin in bag, and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard powder; mix well. Mix in minced chives if you wish. Chill until ready to serve.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place meat and marinade in a shallow baking dish, and roast for 1 hour, basting occasionally. Temperature of meat should register 160 degrees F (73 degrees C). Let rest for a few minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Serve with mustard sauce.
Notes:The sauce is best if made several hours, or even a day in advance, to let the flavors blend well. You may need to adjust the amount of dry mustard to suit your taste - best to start with less, and add more if needed.
