Ingredients

Before we get started, here’s what you’re gonna need:

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

Now let’s get to cooking:

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). You want it nice and hot for that tenderloin.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy.
  3. Take your pork tenderloin and place it in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag. Pour that delicious marinade all over it. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but hit it with a couple of hours if you really want to amp up that flavor.
  4. After marinating, take the pork out and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps in even cooking.
  5. In a hot, oven-safe skillet (cast iron is best!), sear the pork for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it gets that gorgeous brown color.
  6. Then, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes or until your pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Once done, let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep all those juicy flavors in!
  8. Slice up that beautiful tenderloin and drizzle with leftover marinade if you’d like. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for that extra flair.

Serve this succulent dish with rice, stir-fried veggies, or just about anything your heart desires. Enjoy every bite, and remember, good food is all about sharing – so gather your folks and dig in!
