Prep: 15 min., Chill: 24 hr., Broil: 30 min., Stand: 10 min. Oven broilers will vary depending on your model so you may not need to turn the tenderloin as it broils to produce even browning. Coating the pork with flour adds rich flavor and visual appeal.

Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4  pounds  pork tenderloin
  • 1 1/4  cups  dry white wine
  • 1  cup  chicken broth
  • 2  tablespoons  coarse-grained mustard
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh thyme
  • 1  teaspoon  minced garlic
  • 1  teaspoon  pepper, divided
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  kosher salt
  • 1/2  cup  all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable cooking spray

Preparation

1. Remove silver skin from tenderloin, leaving a thin layer of fat covering the tenderloin.

2. Combine wine and next 4 ingredients in a zip-top plastic freezer bag; add pork and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Seal and chill 24 hours, turning occasionally.

3. Remove pork tenderloin from marinade, discarding marinade. Pat dry, and sprinkle evenly with salt and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper. Dredge in flour. Place pork on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan; coat pork evenly with cooking spray.

4. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat 27 to 30 minutes or until pork is browned and a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 150°, turning pork occasionally. Let stand 10 minutes.

Note: Pork tenderloin may be frozen raw in marinade up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator 2 days or until completely thawed. Proceed as directed.
