SPICY BARBECUED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GREEN BEANS

4 servings (plus 1 tenderloin for another meal)

Spicy Barbecue Sauce (below)

2 pork tenderloins (about 3/4, lb each)

1 bag (14 oz) frozen whole green beans

1/3 cup sliced almonds

Heat oven to 450°. Line shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil. Make Spicy Barbecue Sauce.  Place pork in pan; tucking small ends under for even cooking. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork.  Brush pork with about ¼ cup sauce.  Bake uncovered 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Arrange green beans around pork; drizzle green beans with ¼ cup sauce. Sprinkle beans with almonds. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, brushing pork occasionally with drippings, until thermometer reads 155°and beans are almost tender. Cover pork with aluminum foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 160. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°, and pork will be easier to carve.)  Serve 1 tenderloin with green beans. Cover and refrigerate second tenderloin up to 2 days.  

How to make the SPICY BARBECUE SAUCE:

(Remember, this is a top secret Barbecue sauce concoction, so you can’t tell ANYONE what’s in it)

1/3 cup stir-fry sauce

1/3 cup regular (not spicy) barbecue sauce

1/3 cup honey

½ tsp crushed red pepper

Mix all ingredients in small bowl until well blended. Reserve ½ cup sauce for Easy Pork Fried Rice; cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.
