Easy Pork Tenderloin to die for.

Buy a package of pork tenderloin. I recommend the packages at Costco.They come with four tenderloins for about $20.00. This amount of pork will easily feed two small families.

Marinade it with Yoshida's sauce (also available at Costco) overnight.

Grill it on the bbq on medium - low heat turning frequently for about 30 min. or until center is fully cooked.

Slice the tenderloin and drizzle a little bit of Mr. Yoshida's sauce over the pork right before serving. We just pour some more sauce into a bowl and microwave it for 15 seconds or so to make it hot and then drizzle it over the pork.

My kids LOVE this dish, and you only need TWO ingredients!
