Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place pork tenderloin in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Seal bag, ensuring as much air as possible is removed, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove pork from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Discard excess marinade.
- Bake the pork in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Let the pork rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven, allowing juices to redistribute, then slice evenly and serve.

Delicious and Easy!
Quick, simple meal that’s great for a week night. The flavors are well balanced and the pork is perfectly tender and juicy. Next time, I’ll probably add a little sriracha to the marinade but that’s just a preference. I served it with white rice and blanched green beans. A great Tuesday night dinner!
