Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Don’t skip the step of trimming the pork tenderloin. That membrane doesn’t cook away, and it prevents flavors and seasonings from getting to the meat. To remove slippery silverskin, run a knife underneath the shiny membrane, and slice to remove the silverskin while removing as little meat as possible.
  • tip 2
    We used bottled refrigerated orange juice, but shelf-stable or fresh will work fine, too.
