Island Pork Tenderloin Recipe

I have discovered a recipe that is worth killing pigs for, the P90x Island Pork Tenderloin Recipe.
If you cut out the dressing you can lower the fat content from 13g to a little more than 6 grams.
You can also serve the Pork Tenderloin with rice as a different option. Whatever you do, don't cut out the brown sugar, it is what makes this dish out of this world. I would definitely reward myself with this meal on a weekend, after a hard week of exercising, and you have some time to prepare it (it looks a lot more complicated than it actually is).

Enjoy!
