I’m entirely grateful for Martha Stewart (and her team). Some folks think of MS and think, “Oh, that lady is far too fancy for me.” Not so. She offers the fancy but she also covers the practical recipes too. I often gain inspiration from both of her magazines and her entertaining cookbooks. Her Cookies cookbook is just fabulous, and I’ve got her Cupcakes book on my wish list. But her cookbook that actually has given me the most bang for my buck is Great Food Fast. It’s divided seasonally, and literally everything that I’ve tried from this book has been fabulous and family-friendly. My latest find: Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple
We’re big on pork tenderloin in our house. It’s the one cut of pork that I make without making it dried out beyond repair. My meat thermometer is my friend with all meats. I have the fabulous sort that you can insert into the meat… and then it has a long cord attachment that allows you to leave the temperature gage box outside of the oven (and it beeps when it has reached the right temperature). Love it 
Pineapple is fantastic enough when it’s grilled, but it’s also pretty tasty when broiled in this recipe. It’s a perfect complement to the pork.
The lightly glazed pork is served with a sweet & ginger-scented Asian sauce and the broiled slices of pineapple. A bit of pork with a bite of pineapple. YUMMM! Our family loved this for a quick and easy dinner. P.S. I’ll bet you could grill this too if the thought of turning on your oven is too much this summer.
This recipe can be found HERE.

I just bought this book, but I didn’t notice this recipe. I think your picture looks more tasty than hers! I’m definitely giving this one a try. Thanks!
That looks delicious – perfect summer dinner!
Martha is indeed fantastic. This pork dish looks amazing!
I know you love MS, ’cause you often talk about her delicious cookies(BTW yours are divine too). This shows off a totally different side of her… Great looking meal!!
That’s actually one of her cookbooks that I don’t have, but will have to get it. We also love pork tenderloin and I’m always looking for different ways to cook it.
Thanks!
What a tasty & lovely recipe!
MMMMMMMM,….!!!!
I LOVE this cookbook! The day I bought it, I curled up on the couch with the book and a bunch of post-it notes to mark which recipes I wanted to try. By the time I was done, I’d say 75% of the recipes were flagged! I’ve made a handful of them so far and everything has been wonderful!
I need to get a nice meat thermometer like that – what brand is yours? I have that same cookbook and will have to go back and try this recipe, it looks like a great summer meal.
I have the cupcake cookbook, and am having a terrible time figuring out which one to try first! So many gorgeous cupcakes and amazing flavors!
This looks like the perfect summer meal.
We love pork tenderloin at our house too. It is so simple to make and always comes out perfect! Bookmarked (and SU) this recipe!
Looks delicious. I’ve enjoyed many, many recipes from her Everyday Food magazine too.
I love recipes that are fast and still taste like they took forever! Great one here!
Yummmmmmmmmm is RIGHT! We’re a pork tenderloin lovin family, too. I have a similar omeat thermometer and love it for the very same reason. Doesn’t get much easier. Thanks so much for sharing. When my family gets back I’m gonna give it a try!

Looks great, especially the pineapple on the sides – yum!
Your pork tenderloin looks absolutely delicious
I love pork tenderloin, I agree that it’s one of those cuts that stays pretty juicy, and it’s pretty good for you.
Meat thermometer is your friend… that was great
That looks wonderful. I’ve always been scared to try a tenderloin, for fear of drying it out. I need to get a thermometer
Pork is such a natural with fruit…especially grilled fruit!
This looks fabulous! I gotta make this one for sure!
I enjoy a lot the combo savory-sweet with pineapple…the Asian sauce is a magical touch to add pure bliss
Cheers,
Gera
Drool……I agree with peter pork and fruit is a beautiful combination. Also, a big fan of grilled pineapple. Nicely done!
Pineapple with pork is always a favorite here. Grilling does wonder to pineapple, too.
I’m one of those women who thinks of Martha’s recipes as too fancy most of the time. I love the way your dish looks.
