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

Directions

Step 1

Place the pork tenderloin on a clean cutting board and trim any excess fat or silver skin.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and set the remaining marinade aside.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Brush the pork with some of the reserved marinade, then sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into medallions.

Step 11

Serve the pork drizzled with the thickened sauce and garnished with sliced green onions. Pair with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
