Instructions:
- Marinate the Pork Tenderloin:

- Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate. You can marinate it for several hours or overnight for more flavor if you have the time.
- Preheat the Oven:

- Arrange the vegetables in a casserole dish or a large baking sheet.
- Cook the Pork and Vegetables:
- Remove the marinated pork tenderloins from the refrigerator.
- Heat a skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until they have a nice golden-brown crust.
- Place the seared pork tenderloins on top of the vegetables in the casserole dish.
- Bake:
- Pour any remaining marinade over the pork and vegetables.
- Cover the casserole dish with foil or an oven-safe lid.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Garnish:
