Pork Tenderloin with Orange Glaze

Olive Oil
2 Cloves garlic
1 Cup orange juice
1/2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 sprig rosemary
1 spring oregano
1 sprig parsley

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop garlic and mix with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, then coat pork tenderloin in the garlic/oil mixture and let stand for 30-60 mintues. Heat a large oven-proof skillet and brown the meat on all sides with an additional 2-3 tablespoons olive oil (about 5-6 minutes total) while seasoning with salt and pepper. Next, add the remainder of the ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil. Then, place the pan in the upper rack of your oven, and bake for 30+ minutes or until the meat reaches 145 degrees. Remove from oven, set meat aside, and strain the pan drippings into a small saucepan. Stir in some chopped parsley and add salt/pepper to taste. If necessary, cook down the liquid until you have about 1/2 cup remaining. In the meantime, cut the pork into 1/4-1/2 inch medallions. Arrange the medallions on a plate, pour the orange glaze over the meat, and serve with roasted root vegetables (diced sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and garlic tossed in olive oil and roasted in the oven at the same time as the meat).
