GCH: What’s on Your Plate? – Honey Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Honey Roasted Pork Tenderloin_Lanza

This is one of those meals that I know will be a hit with all that try it. A tried and true, if you will. And it is very easy to prepare. Make sure you let it sit for a few minutes before slicing. You won’t be sorry you tried this, I promise. The sauce that this dish makes is amazing. You can thicken it up with a bit of cornstarch or arrowroot for a gravy, as well. It is super simple to make and put together, yet it is definitely company worth, making it perfect for the holidays!

Honey Roasted Pork Tenderloin

2 lbs boneless pork loin
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice

Baste frequently.

Strain the pan juices into a saucepan.  Reduce until slightly thickened.  Serve over the sliced pork.
