  and no longer pink in the center.

• 10 In a separate small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium low.
• 11 Add the garlic and cook 2-3 minutes or until it just starts to brown.
• 12 Add the soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes, if using.
• 13 Cook for about 2 minutes, until heated through and well blended.
• 14 Brush or drizzle the sauce onto the tenders until coated. Use extra sauce for
  dipping, if desired.
