Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Happy father's day, all you dads out there!  I'm still catching up from a few days ago--this would certainly work for a father's day meal if you're in a pinch, though.  This is one more episode from "la cuisine de ma mère" (my mother's kitchen).  We all really enjoyed this one, and it's quite easy, not a lot of ingredients.  Although not indicated in the original recipe, we opted to prepare this in the toaster oven, as we didn't want to heat up the kitchen on a hot summer day (ok, yes, it's not technically summer yet, but I'm counting it as such anyhow).  I would rate this one 8.5--it's really yummy, I will make again for sure :)

Ingredients:

2 lb. pork tenderloin
kosher salt and pepper
1/3 c. freshly squeezed orange juice
1/3 c. brown sugar (packed)
2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 400°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy cleanup--be sure to cover edges, too) and spray with non-stick spray.

2. Generously salt and pepper tenderloin, then arrange on prepared baking sheet.



3. In a medium saucepan, bring remaining ingredients to a boil.  Reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 5-7 minutes, until sauce has reduced by half.



4. Pour mixture over pork and place in oven.  Bake for 25 minutes (or until pork has reached 160°F), then switch to broiler and broil for 5 minutes.  (note: during the baking, we occasionally basted with the juices, which I recommend--was not indicated in original recipe)



5. Slice and serve immediately with pan juices poured over meat--enjoy! (forgot to get a serving pic--we had this with simple fried potatoes)
