Rosemary-Marinated Pork and Asian-Marinated Pork
Two pork tenderloins get marinated two different ways. Enjoy the rosemary-infused pork on night one, and reserve the Asian-marinated pork for nights two and three.
Makes 4 Servings (with enough pork left over for two more meals)
Ingredients
Rosemary Marinade
One 1 1/4 pound pork tenderloin
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch black pepper
Directions
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag; set aside. Whisk together the salad dressing, rosemary, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for the most flavorful results.

Ingredients
Asian Marinade
One 1 1/4 pound pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh or bottled lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag; set aside. Whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for the most flavorful results.
Cooking Instructions for BOTH Marinades
To cook the pork, preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade (discard marinade), and place each tenderloin in a separate baking dish. Bake until the meat is slightly pink in the center, and an instant-read meat thermometer registers 160°F, about 25 minutes. Slice the rosemary-marinated pork and serve. Reserve the Asian-marinated pork for leftovers.
