Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork fillet (tenderloin)
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Trim any excess fat or sinew from the pork fillet and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the fillet with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
Brush half of the marinade over the pork fillet, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the pork fillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until it is golden brown.
Transfer the skillet (or place the fillet onto the prepared baking tray) into the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 63°C (145°F).
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the pork fillet to create a glossy glaze.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.
Garnish the sliced pork with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
