Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 pcs Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 pcs Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the pork tenderloin on a clean cutting board and trim any excess fat or silver skin.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the pork is completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and set the remaining marinade aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Brush the pork with some of the reserved marinade, then sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, take the remaining marinade and bring it to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened to use as a sauce.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into medallions.
Serve the pork drizzled with the thickened sauce and garnished with sliced green onions. Pair with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
