Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingrédients

1 pound pork tenderloin

½ cup teriyaki sauce (or homemade below)

sesame seeds (and green onions for garnish)

⅓ cup soy sauce

⅓ cup orange juice (or pineapple juice)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)

Instructions

If making homemade sauce, combine teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add half of the teriyaki sauce to the pork tenderloin (refrigerate the remaining sauce to thicken for serving).

Marinate the pork for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Remove tenderloin from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cook tenderloin 17-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145° F.

While pork is cooking, combine reserved sauce with 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add to simmering sauce a bit at a time to thicken. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.

Remove pork from the oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Drizzle pork with thickened sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
