Great People Make Favorite Places

BCC has created an actionable statement that helps define our philosophy known as The Simple Truth: Great People Make Favorite Places. ◆

Staff Member of the Month

Leadership Award

SEPTEMBER

Even on a busy day, Brendan notices someone’s need for help or attention, and makes a point to improve their day. He was a key part in the process of reopening the Five Farms clubhouse and in the weeks that followed. He made sure that all last-minute requests were addressed in a timely and professional manner. He’s cheerful, thoughtful, and makes the most mundane tasks–fun! He is a great example of the Simple Truth: Great People Make Favorite Places.

Daniela has been instrumental in assisting the Membership Department throughout some of the busiest years the Club has seen. Most recently, she was asked to take over the department’s responsibilities while our Director was on maternity leave. Daniela worked tirelessly throughout the summer ensuring that all inquiries, proposals, and projects were handled and went off without a hitch. Her knowledge and confidence while taking on these responsibilities has flourished, and she has proven herself capable of taking on any challenge. We are so fortunate to have her on our team!

pork tenderloin roast

2 pork tenderloins

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon hot sauce

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1. Preheat your oven to 375˚F. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set it aside. Pat dry the pork tenderloins with paper towels

2. In a small mixing bowl combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mix all over the pork tenderloins

3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and sear the pork tenderloins until browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the pork tenderloins to the prepared baking dish

4. In a bowl, combine garlic, honey, soy sauce, mustard, hot sauce, and oil; whisk until well combined. Brush this mixture over the pork tenderloins. Keep some of the mixture for serving. Roast the pork tenderloins for 15 minutes then remove them from the oven

5. Tent a piece of foil over the pork tenderloins so the top doesn’t burn, but the inside continues to cook. Put back in the oven and continue to cook for 15 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145˚F. Use an meat thermometer to check for doneness

6. Remove the baking dish from the oven and loosely cover the meat with foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the roasted pork tenderloins and serve, garnished with rosemary, orange slices, and the reserved glaze on the side. Enjoy!

tips from the chefs

• The pork tenderloins can be rubbed 1 day ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator

• Do not overcook: Pork tenderloin is very lean meat. If overcooked, it can become dry

• Make sure to rest the meat before slicing so the juices reflow in the meat and make it extra tender

• When roasting pork tenderloin, it should be roasted to a temperature of 145˚F. Roasting your pork tenderloin to 145˚F is a medium cook which means it should be just a touch of pink in the middle, which is perfect
