Teriyaki Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Yum! That's really the best way I can think of to describe this. You can't go wrong with a pork tenderloin and I think brown sugar makes everything awesome.

Teriyaki Marinated Pork Tenderloin

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbls. brown sugar
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 Tbls. Olive oil
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1 pork tenderloin approx. 1 lb.

Mix all ingredients except pork in a large resealable bag. Shake well. Add pork. Place bag in fridge and let marinate for at least 3 hours.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray.

Remove pork from marinade. Reserve 1/4 cup of marinade for basting. Place pork on foil lined baking sheet.

Bake at 400* for 45-50 minutes or until center reaches 160*. Baste with reserved marinade during last 15 minutes of cook time.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help it retain it's juiciness.
