Ingredients
Scale
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional garnish: sesame seeds and sliced green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish.
Pour half of the glaze mixture over the pork, turning to coat all sides. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
Roast the pork for 20 to 25 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
Baste the pork with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork against the grain and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
Notes
You can sear the pork in an oven-safe skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before roasting to develop a nice crust.
This glaze pairs well with steamed rice and roasted broccoli.
Adjust the amount of ginger or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra warmth.
