Combine first 8 ingredients and mix well.

Place tenderloin in large shallow dish, pour the mixture made above over the top and cover tightly. Refrigerate for 8 hours, turning occasionally.

Heat the reserved marinade over low heat adding the juice of the tenderloin from cooking and ½ c of water. Season the marinade with salt and pepper to taste. Use this as an optional “light sauce” to be served on the side.
