BEER MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPES

Steps:

• Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk lager, soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1 Tbsp. vinegar in a small bowl; pour into bag with pork and seal. Chill, turning occasionally, for at least 4 and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400°. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade, allowing any excess to drip off (reserve marinade). Cook pork, turning, until browned on all sides, 8–10 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 140°, 10–15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slightly thickened, 5–8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage, apple, bay leaves, and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until cabbage is softened, 15–20 minutes. Add remaining 1 tsp. vinegar and toss to combine.
• Slice pork and serve with cabbage mixture and sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine root beer, vinegar, soy sauce and crushed pepper, if desired. Place the pork in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour half of the root beer mixture over the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Refrigerate remaining root beer mixture until needed.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet, drizzle with the oil and toss to coat well. Arrange potatoes in a single layer, pushing potatoes to the sides slightly to make room for the pork tenderloin.
• Remove the pork from the marinade, discarding marinade. Pat pork dry with paper towels. Lightly coat a very large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook pork over medium-high heat 3 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes or until sides are browned. Place pork in center of potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and pork is slightly pink in center (155 degrees F), stirring sweet potatoes once halfway through roasting time.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining root beer mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to release any browned bits. Boil 2 to 3 minutes or until reduced to about 2 tablespoons liquid, stirring frequently. Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the pork on a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the potatoes and toss to combine. Cover with foil to keep warm while pork stands. To serve, drizzle the sauce evenly over the pork slices.
