Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- Green onions and sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
- Marinate the Pork:
- Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
- Roast the Pork:
- Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the remaining marinade halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
- Rest and Serve:
- Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice or vegetables.
This Hoisin Pork Tenderloin is a delicious combination of sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavors that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or stir-fried veggies for a satisfying and easy meal.
