Asian Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Prep time: About 9 hours including marinating time
Cook time: 1 hour 30 min
Total time: 10 hours 30 min
Ingredients
1/3
cup lite soy sauce
1/4 cup
sesame oil
2 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
1/8 cup
packed light brown sugar
3
green onions, chopped
4
cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons
Asian chile paste
1 1/2 teaspoons
pepper
1 (2 pound)
fat-trimmed pork tenderloin
Directions
Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar, green onions, garlic,
chile paste and the pepper.
Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Turn the tenderloin several times so the marinade
coats it well. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or more. Overnight is better.
Alternately you can place the pork tenderloin in 1 gallon sized Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Squeeze as much air as you
can from the bag and zip it up. Place the bag in the refrigerator and just turn the bag over every two or three hours.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Transfer the pork tenderloin along with the marinade into an aluminum foil-lined baking pan.
Roast in a preheated oven 80 to 90 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven and cover it with a foil tent for 15 to 20 minutes.
While the tenderloin roast is resting pour the marinade into a saucepan and reduce to sauce consistency. You can also make
additions to the sauce like diced button mushrooms. The sauce can be thickened with a flour or cornstarch slurry instead of reducing.
Slice the tenderloin and pour the sauce over the slices to serve. With plain cooked rice and steamed bok choy as side dishes
your family will think they're enjoying Chinese takeout instead of your own Asian Pork Tenderloin Recipe.
