- 2teaspoons brown sugar
- 2teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

- Step 1
If using a broiler instead of a stove-top grill, turn on broiler and cover broiler pan with double thickness of aluminum foil.
- Step 2
Grate rind from tangerine, and squeeze tangerine to yield ½ cup juice; put into bowl large enough to hold the pork.
- Step 3
Mince garlic; chop rosemary leaves; add to bowl with sugar, Worcestershire sauce and vermouth, and mix well.
- Step 4
Wash, dry and slice tenderloin into ½-inch-thick slices, and stir into marinade.
- Step 5
Prepare stove-top grill if using. Arrange slices of pork on grill or broiler. Brush with marinade. Grill or broil pork for a couple of minutes; brush with marinade, turn and continue cooking until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Bring remaining marinade to boil, and spoon over pork slices on plates.

Cut the sugar in half, added 1 tsp dijon mustard and used brandy instead of vermouth (it’s what I had on hand & brandy pairs well with citrus). This gave more depth to the flavor and will make again. Possibly increasing the dijon mustard or maybe adding a small amount of grated ginger. Definitely quick & easy for a weeknight dinner for two with cous cous & a green veg.
This was delightful! My daughter prepared it and I couldn’t get enough! Served with sautéed kale and sweet potatoes.
We loved this sauce/marinade--made as directed except subbed Cointreau (no vermouth in the house!) and added about a tablespoon of grainy mustard. It did lean a bit sweet, but I like that with pork, especially. Seared a tenderloin, then deglazed with the sauce when it was almost done and finished with a bit of butter while the pork rested. Yum.
