I'm making a Pork Tenderloin for dinner tonight. I don't have any Cognac on hand to try this recipe but I will give it a shot on the next one! Sounds very good. Thanks for posting.

Sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm a big fan of the old-fashioned method of cooking a tenderloin of jamming some garlic cloves into little slits sliced into the beef, dousing it with red wine, adding a healthy dose of sea salt and black pepper, and roasting it the oven.

All of this sounds yummy. I'm gonna have to give these suggestions a shot.
