Steps:

  • 1. **The tenderloin I used was four lbs and very wide. I sliced it down the center lengthwise. Cut slits in the tenderloin and insert garlic cloves into the meat.
  • 2. Combine all marinade ingredients and place tenderloin in a large zip lock bag with marinade. Let set three hours or overnight.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes until no longer pink in the middle.
  • 4. Combine all ingredients for glaze and spoon over cooked tenderloin. Return to oven for 10 minutes.
  • 5. I like this recipe served with garlic smashed potatoes and brussels sprouts or broccoli.
