Honey Gingered Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
– 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 ½ pounds)
– ¼ cup honey
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional garnish: sesame seeds and chopped green onions
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. This flavorful marinade will be the key to giving our pork tenderloin its irresistible taste.
3. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Place the tenderloin in the prepared baking dish.
4. Pour the honey ginger marinade over the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the tenderloin with the marinade a couple of times during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
6. Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a succulent and juicy final dish.
7. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the baking dish over the sliced pork for an extra pop of flavor.
8. If desired, sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a beautiful presentation and added texture.
