Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin

Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin

This honey garlic pork tenderloin, delicious and perfectly cooked, begins with a Chinese five spice-based rub, and bakes while you make the sweet-savory honey garlic sauce.

Ingredients :

• 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon chinese five spice powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 6 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with a wire rack.
3. Trim silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin.
4. Combine brown sugar, salt, Chinese five spice powder, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a small bowl.
5. Sprinkle tenderloin all over with spice mixture, rubbing to coat.
6. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tenderloin until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Place tenderloin on the rack in the prepared pan.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center reads 140 degrees F (61 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes.
8. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) or higher.
9. Meanwhile for sauce, heat honey, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic in the same skillet. Simmer until liquid reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes.
10. Slice pork and serve with warm sauce.
