Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 3 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and brush the pork tenderloin generously with the prepared glaze.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet (or place the pork tenderloin onto the prepared baking sheet) to the preheated oven. Roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the tenderloin with more glaze for a shiny, flavorful coating.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

Step 9

Slice the pork into medallions and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
