Gettin' Saucy with Rebecca Scott is a webisode series on YouTube that teaches people (and hopefully you!) how to cook her favorite tried and true dishes. Rebecca is not a commercial chef; she's just a regular girl with poor motor skills, a small kitchen, and an enormous appetite. Tune in to YouTube every other weekend to learn . . . and laugh.

Episode Companion: Marinated Pork Tenderloin

In recording these delightful little episodes, I invariably insert malapropisms and omit important details. I’ll try to fill in the blanks in my episode companions.)

I began this experiment with pork tenderloin, because it is the simplest thing I know how to make. All you need is four ingredients (six, if you choose to get saucy) and a little over an hour. Done & done. Here a whole bunch of thoughts that in no way contradict the simplicity.

  • Rinsing the pork is a very important step. Pork tenderloin is packed in all sorts of salt solutions and whatnot that you don’t want to consume. MAKE SURE YOU DON’T BUY TENDERLOIN ALREADY IN A MARINADE. Ick. No amount of rinsing will save you then.
  • I realize for some of you “if it bothers you, you figure out how to deal with it” has become a rallying cry for GSwRS, but I thought I’d go ahead and link to instructions on removing silver skin (which isn’t skin at all but connective tissue).
  • As you can see in the recipe, you can use apple juice instead of bourbon. I should have mentioned that. I happen to live in a household where bourbon is much more of a staple than apple juice, so I sometimes forget that substitution. I have tried it, and the results are slightly sweeter but totally tasty.
  • I have no issues with double dipping amongst family and close friends without gross mouth diseases. Charlotte feels otherwise.
  • We will never again have the TV on while filming. Sorry!
  • Cooking Saucy with Rebecca Scott? What a novice.
  • When I said I burned myself a little, I meant a lot. It’s now three weeks later, and I’m still healing. Seriously, people. Get yourselves some good oven mitts.
  • On a non-cooking-related note, it is my hope to someday make curtains with the lemon fabric hanging over the sink in that slapdash fashion. I do wish I’d thought to take it down before filming.
  • I’m serious about the pork tenderloin trilogy. I have two other fab recipes to share. Stay tuned!
