Delicious company Pork tenderloin, enjoyed by all!! Just the right amount of heat, loved the ginger and sherry, the marinade/sauce was outstanding, guests couldn't get enough of it. I used English hot mustard as I had no Chinese mustard, another time I might put more horseradish in it, this time I served extra on the side. Grilled it on our indoor grill, it looked impressive. Thanks for sharing a good one!!

No question that this deserves a 5 star rating - I have been experimenting with Cinzano and used it instead of sherry. It added a nice touch. Took the advice from one review and added a bit more horseradish. I used almost 1 tsp- perfect. Served with steamed broccoli, cauliflower and new potatoes - the potatoes were forkmashed on the plate with the lovely sauce

Supreme! I substituted dijon for the chinese mustard and marsala wine for the sherry. I marinated it overnight and we put it in the Japanese smoker (a.k.a. Big Green Egg) for about 40 minutes. Everyone raved about the tenderness and flavor of the meat. The additional sauce was just the right touch. I agree with Derf about perhaps adding more horseradish next time to make it a bit spicy.
