A delightful pork tenderloin recipe with a sweet and savory glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, and honey in a mixing bowl until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the honey is fully dissolved into the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor penetration into the meat.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Lining the baking sheet makes cleanup easier.
Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Pat the pork dry slightly to help it sear better in the oven.
Bake the pork in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain and serve.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist.
