Mustard & Sage Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Brain Healthy Ingredients: Garlic, Sage

Serves: 2-4

Studies have shown that the humble sage leaf, or its extracts, can improve your mood, boost your short-term memory, and help you pay attention better.

Letting the tenderloin rest before slicing makes it juicier and lets the flavors combine better.
