By Addie

I wanted to share an example of a super simple meal that takes virtually no effort whatsoever. If you’re scrambling for an easy but fabulous dinner on a weeknight, Olivia’s Indonesian Pork Tenderloin will take pantry-ready ingredients and transform a tenderloin into a sweet and spicy masterpiece.

Ingredients

• l lb pork tenderloin
• 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon cayenne (don't double)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup pineapple preserves

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.


Trim fat from tenderloin. Combine soy sauce, peanut butter, red pepper flakes and garlic, stirring well. Spread mixture over tenderloin. Place on a rack in a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of tenderloin, if desired. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.


Brush tenderloin with pineapple preserves and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 160°F, basting often with pineapple preserves. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
