Benefiting from a long marinade in apple cider and fresh herbs, cider marinated pork tenderloin is fancy enough for a backyard dinner party and easy enough for a weekend camping trip. If there are any leftovers, it also makes for an awesome sandwich the next day.
It is important that you remove the silverskin from the tenderloin, as it won’t break down during cooking and can make your meat tough and chewy. Make sure to carefully use a sharp knife when removing the silverskin.
You can serve the tenderloin with any number of side dishes. Try grilling some seasonal vegetables along with the pork, such as potatoes and onions or asparagus.
