    1/2 teaspoon salt divided                                      
    1/4 teaspoon pepper divided                                    
    1 pound pork tenderloin trimmed                                
    2 teaspoons flour

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add pork, seal and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and flour.

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Pour reserved marinade over pork. Wrap handle of pan with foil, and bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink). Remove pork from pan; let stand 10 minutes. Cut crosswise into 8 pieces.

MY NOTE: Tastes really good. The sauce was a touch bitter so I added a little sugar the very end and it was perfect. My own photo.
