Garlic Sage Grilled Pork Tenderloin (ME)
The key to this tasty pork is picking a great piece of meat and allowing it to marinate for at least 24 hours. Once those two criteria are met you'll have trouble cooking-up anything less than the most tender, juicy pork (unless of course you burn it to a crisp). If you don't have a grill you can slow roast this in the oven at 350 degrees for about 1-2 hours. Add all marinade to the baking pan.
