Use this quick and easy marinade and you will almost feel like you are eating a luxurious beef filet instead of a simple pork tenderloin. If you love the warm, gentle spice of black peppercorns as I do, you will turn to this recipe for casual week-night suppers and elegant dinner parties alike.

- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Place the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse to a coarse paste. Rub the paste over the tenderloins, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more.
