I've been making this tenderloin for years -- I was getting ready to post the recipe and found that gpotts had aleady done the work for me!!! This is a recipe that I always know will be delicious and people will love. There is seldom any leftovers!!! It's just too easy to eat -- because of that I always plan ahead and make extra. I hope more people will give this a try.

Very nice. We didn't marinate this for much longer than about 4 or 5 hours because I don't like the texture of over-marinated meat. We did not sprinkle with salt and didn't miss it at all. The cooking instructions were very good, although we took the meat off a bit earlier than noted and it was still a tiny bit dry. We'll make this often! Thank you gpotts!

This did what I did not think could be done, it has replaced my "perfect" bourbon marinated pork tenderloin recipe. I think the worchestershire sauce and ginger were the differences that made the subtle diffeence. I did cut back on the bourbon a bit. I cook my tenderloin to an internal temp of 155 and let it rest. This is simple elegance.
