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 to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Sear the pork in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the seared pork and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), basting halfway through.
- Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the pork into medallions and serve on a platter, drizzling with remaining sauce and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate the pork overnight. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
