Delicious Asian Pork Tenderloin Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup water (for sauce consistency)
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, five-spice powder, and black pepper.

    Whisk well to combine all the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork tenderloin in a zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

    Longer marination enhances flavor.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  4. Roast the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Reserve the marinade.

    Sear the pork in a hot pan for 2 minutes on each side for added flavor before roasting.
  5. Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, bring the reserved marinade and water to a boil. Mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it in to thicken the sauce.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Finish Roasting

    Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

    Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve

    Slice the pork and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with green onions and peanuts.

    Serve with steamed rice or vegetables.
