My Kroger had those marinated pork tenderloins on sale - 2 for the price of 1, so I picked up 2.
I cooked it for the 40 minutes that was suggested (I have an oven thermometer to make sure I have the correct temp) and it was still raw so I used my meat thermometer that you stick in and it beeps when the correct temp is reached. OK, it beeped at 160 which was the suggested temp on the package.
It still looked raw on the outside so I made a mental note to sear the tenderloin in the future, before I put it in the oven.
I cut it to serve and it looked so weird. There was a line of gristley stuff between what looked like, dark and light meat. It was still raw in the middle so I sliced it in 3/4" pieces and fried it in a skillet. Finally it seemed done.
It tastes fine but I've never experienced anything like this before.
Any ideas? I just checked my meat thermometer and it's accurate....is it ghosts?
