Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin


I had a busy night yesterday!  I needed dinner that was fast and easy.  I didn't have time to sit at the stove and cook a meal.  I found a small pork tenderloin on sale at the grocery store, and I knew it would bake pretty quickly.  I pulled some veggies from the fridge and made a quick Sweet and Sour sauce to pour over it.  To make it a complete meal, I cooked a blend of brown and wild rice with a little chicken broth.  Here's the recipe if you want to give it a try!

Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin

-Pork Tenderloin sized to feed your family
-1 Green Pepper sliced
-1 Onion halved and sliced
-Carrots sliced
-Mushrooms halved
-Salt and Pepper to taste

Sauce ingredients
-1 cup of pineapple juice
-1/4 cup water
-2 Tbsp vinegar (white or rice wine)
-1/4 cup tomato paste
-1 Tbsp honey
-2 Tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Place pork tenderloin in a shallow baking dish.  Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.  Add vegetables around the pork.  In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients.  Pour over the pork and vegetables.  Bake for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
