Pork Tenderloin with Orange Sauce

This is a nice, fruity twist on pork tenderloin. Lots of thyme and a sauce made from orange juice pair nicely when served with rice.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into slices
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- dash of cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place the pork slices in an ungreased 13x9-inch pan.

Combine the butter, thyme, and cayenne; spread over pork. Pour the orange juice over the meat.

Bake 25-30 minutes.

Remove pork and keep warm. Pour pan drippings into a saucepan. Stir in flou rand sugar until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, while stirring, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve sauce with pork, and rice if desired.
