Hi Elly, here are a couple of recipes for you. One I have tried (the tenderloin with parmesan crust), the other I have not tried but it sure sounds good. Both recipes are from "The Best of Country Cooking" cookbook.
PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PARMESAN CRUST
1 whole pork tenderloin (15 oz) 1/2 cup flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper 1/2 cup butter, divided use 1 shallot 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 375.
Slice tenderloin in 1/4 inch slices; pound thin between sheets of waxed paper. Dip into flour/salt/pepper mixture and saute very quickly in 2 Tbs. of butter. Place in single layer in 11x9x2 inch baking dish.
Dice shallot, saute; add white wine and deglaze pan. Add to baking dish.
Mix parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup butter in food processor. Make a log of the mixture, slice and press one slice on top of each slice of pork.

MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
1 whole pork tenderloin (1 pound) 24 small dinner or Parkerhouse rolls, warmed, Marinade: 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 tsp. dry mustard 2 garlic cloves, minced.
In a shallow 1-1/2 quart glass baking dish, mix marinade ingredients. Place tenderloin in dish; turn to coat surface. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight, turning several times.
Drain, reserving marinade for grilling. Grill tenderloin over hot coals or gas grill on med.-high, brushing occasionally with marinade. Grill each side about 6 minutes for med.-well, or 7 to 8 min. per side for well-done. Let stand for 10 minutes; carve in thin slices and serve on rolls.
Alternate cooking method: Bake tenderloin in 375 oven until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let stand for 10 min., carve in thin slices. Combine 1/4 c reserved marinade and 1 cup water. Heat in chafing dish; add pork slices.
