Pork Tenderloin Marinade Recipe: A Golden Savory Treat

Ingredients

• Pork: Obviously, our meat cut of choice is the tenderloin. It's lean but still tender and flavorful, a perfect choice for quick-cooking.
• The marinade: Our marinade is a sweet, savory, and subtly zesty mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
• Baby carrots: Also coated in the marinade and roasted alongside the pork, the baby carrots tie in perfectly with the rest of the dish. It's earthly sweet and intricately flavorful.
• Corn: This is used to infuse specks of natural sweetness into the creamy base.
• Polenta: This is finely ground cornmeal - the main ingredient of our side dish. When cooked, it becomes distinctly creamy and buttery - a perfect contrast with the savory, hearty meat.
• Dairy products: Milk and heavy cream are used with the polenta to make a rich, creamy side.
