Place tenderloins on rack in roasting pan, reserving marinade. Pour 1 cup water into pan. Bake, basting generously four times, in a 375F oven for 30-35 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted at 20 degree angle registers 160F and meat still has a hint of pink. 5. Remove to cutting board, and tent with foil. Let stand for 10 minutes. 6. Remove string. Using sharp knife, slice pork diagonally into thin slices.
