Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or silver skin if necessary.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the Chinese five-spice powder, garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and sear it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork tenderloin for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.

Step 7

Remove the pork from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with finely sliced green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
