Carolina Porch Pork Tenderloin

By brenda-2

Stumbled across the Carolina Porch restaurant years ago off I-95 in South Carolina. It was a horrible rainy night and the restaurant was close to the hotel for us. Loved this so much we stopped on our way back from Florida and this is my attempt at replicating it. The restaurant, sadly, is no longer there.
