This sounds so good. I love pork tenderloin but have never tried it this way.
Coke and pork, oh yeah now you’re talking 🙂 Love your marinade!
Oh, you know, pork loin is something I love but hardly ever make. Fabulous that you used Coke – I went to college in Atlanta and needless to say the stuff was everywhere! Looks so tender, something I’d love to make.
What camera do you use?
you take some beautiful pictures 🙂 Loved the recipe!
oh pork tenderloin, how do I love thee???
for real- we LOVE some pork in this house. I made carintas with my tenderloin last week (in the crock pot even!). and used the meat for tostadas. i also love using the island pork tenderloin recipe from the p90x cook book, and when im feeling like adding a few calories- the honey butter recipe from Martha Stewart.
now im going to have to try this one!!!
I’m always looking for good new marinades for all the pig meat in my life 🙂 I’m definitely going to give this a go!
OH my gosh that is SUCH a cool trick!! I wanna move to the south. 🙂
I’ve always wanted to try these various recipes with Coca-Cola. This looks awesome!
Pork tenderloin is one of our favorite go-tos. Can’t wait to try your marinade!
Oh, love this! My BF made this for me last winter (we also did chicken) and it was soo good! Great recipe!
