Just recently I made a fantastic recipe for Glazed Soy Ginger Chicken Thighs. And I love a lot of recipes with those flavours, so it got things moving for this super tasty recipe. This is another pretty easy recipe that requires very little hands on time. It’s a wonderful weeknight dinner that you’ll love to make on repeat.

What is This Pork Tenderloin Dish Like

• Difficulty – This recipe isn’t difficult to make and isn’t overly time consuming. There are three parts though. The pork is seared on the stove, then finished in the oven. And the sauce is made in a separate saucepan.
• Taste – This tenderloin is so tender and flavoursome. It has a brown crust from searing on the stove and a fantastic sauce made from soy sauce, honey and brown sugar.
• Serving – As a main course, this pork dish, serves 4 people. These are not big servings. These are the type of servings that you would have alongside some rice and vegetables. You can adjust serving size in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin – I used a one pound (500 gram) pork tenderloin for this recipe.
• Olive oil – Olive oil is used to sear the pork on the stovetop.
• Salt – Regular table salt is used to season the pork.
• Black pepper – Fresh ground black pepper works great for seasoning the pork.
• Fresh garlic – I used a few fresh minced garlic cloves to rub over pork to add extra flavour.
• Soy sauce – Any brand of soy sauce will work for this recipe. The soy sauce is used to make the sauce as well a small amount to pour over the pork before roasting in the oven.
• Honey – Any kind of honey will work. I used liquid honey.
• Brown sugar – Just a tablespoon of brown sugar is used to sweeten the sauce.
• Cornstarch – Cornstarch is a thickening agent and is used to thicken the sauce.
• Water – Water is added to the sauce as well as just one tablespoon to the cornstarch to make a paste to thicken the sauce.
• Sesame seeds – I opted to garnish the dish with sesame seeds.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C. Have a rimmed baking pan ready and set aside.
2. Season and sear the pork – Season both sides of the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper and rub over the minced garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over high heat. Place the pork in the hot skillet and brown each side for about 2 minutes.
3. Roast the pork – Remove from skillet and place on a large sheet of aluminium foil. Drizzle over the honey and two tablespoons of the soy sauce. Fold over the foil wrap and make sure it’s sealed. Place in the baking pan and cook in the oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
4. Make the sauce – In a small saucepan set over medium heat, add the soy sauce, 1/2 cup/118 ml of the water and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and add the pan juices from the pork. Combine the cornstarch with the remaining tablespoon of water and stir to combine. Pour this into the sauce and whisk until it thickens. Remove from heat.
5. Serve – Slice the pork into 1/4 inch slices. Serve topped with the sauce and sesame seeds.

Recipe Tips

• Time saving – Make the sauce while the pork is cooking in the oven. Although you use the pan drippings from the pork to add to the sauce, you can do this after the sauce is made no problem at all.
• Serve as soon as it’s cooked – This dish is best served fresh. Although you can cook the sauce before hand, cook the pork just before serving. It will have a tendency to dry out when reheated.
