Recipe(tried): Marinated Pork Tenderloin (serves 50) ... good alternative / addition

MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

This is great made ahead of time....We eat it hot for one meal then served cold slices for others. I have even made it into an appetizer by making cubes and putting them on a skewer with a piece of cheese... tomatoe, marinated mushroom, slices of vegtables. and olive on top. Men love this recipe.

Pork tenderloin is usually cheaper than beef... this would be a nice supplement to your roast beef dinner. Try the dinner portion first to see if you like it.... I marinate it for a day or two... I cook until it is done but do not over cook so it is tough.
