Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 unit (as needed) Cooking spray
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, honey, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the pork is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off any excess. Set the leftover marinade aside in a small saucepan.
Grill the pork tenderloin for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking and a nice char on the outside.
While the pork is grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to use as a glaze or sauce.
Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the pork into medallions and brush with the simmered glaze, if desired.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions for added freshness and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete low-fat meal.
