Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 pork tenderloins
Sauces and Seasonings:
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 dash red pepper flakes
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup butter
- 6 green onions
Serving Accompaniment:
- Cooked rice
Instructions
- Mix ⅓ cup soy sauce, ⅓ cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, 3 crushed garlic cloves, and a dash of red pepper flakes in a large freezer bag. Submerge 2 pork tenderloins completely, seal, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- Heat oven to 500°F. Line a small roasting pan with foil and spray a wire rack with non-stick cooking spray. Remove tenderloins from marinade and place on prepared rack.
- Reserve ½ cup of marinade liquid in a separate saucepan. Roast pork for 9 minutes, then flip and roast another 9 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Let pork rest for 8 minutes to redistribute juices. This ensures your meat stays tender and flavorful.
- Pour reserved marinade into saucepan and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 6 minutes to concentrate flavors and thicken sauce.
- Remove sauce from heat and stir in ¼ cup butter until glaze becomes glossy and smooth.
- Slice pork into ¼-inch thick pieces. Arrange over cooked rice and drizzle hot glaze on top. Garnish with 6 sliced green onion rings.
Notes
- Let the pork tenderloin marinate overnight for maximum flavor depth and tender meat texture.
- Use a meat thermometer to precisely check the internal temperature and prevent overcooking the pork.
- For a lower-carb version, serve the glazed pork over cauliflower rice instead of traditional white rice.
- When reducing the marinade into a glaze, stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, rich consistency.
