Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 to 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha in a bowl to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag or shallow dish with the marinade for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Prepare the pork by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes after removing it from the marinade.
- Sear the pork tenderloin in a hot large oven-safe skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Add the reserved marinade over the seared pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Roast the pork for about 15-20 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), basting halfway through.
- Rest the pork for 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven.
- Slice into medallions, serve on a platter, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate the pork overnight. Pairs well with jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables.
