Ingredients

  • 2 lb pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons honey keto version, please skip
  • ½ cup soy sauce keto version, please use coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar keto version, please skip
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 teaspoons celtic sea salt
  • fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds to garnish
  • fresh chopped cilantro or parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Mix well with a wire whisk.
  • Place pork tenderloin in a plastic bag or large, shallow dish.
  • Pour half marinade over pork. Reserve other half for cooking.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at least 20 minutes, up to overnight. (Please refrigerate if marinating over 20 minutes.)
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan.
  • Remove tenderloin from marinade (discard the marinade pork was in) and rub it with the celtic sea salt and pepper. Brown pork tenderloin on all sides - about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • When pork has browned, remove from pan and place on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet.
  • Add reserved marinade to top of pork.
  • Fold foil into pouch.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes, until pork tenderloin is 140 degrees internal temperature in the middle of the thickest part.
  • Remove pork at 140 degrees and leave in foil to carryover cook to 145 degrees as it rests for 10 minutes.
  • Slice after 10 minutes, garnish with sesame seeds, parsley and sauce from the pan, and enjoy!
  • If you would like a thicker sauce, you may drain sauce from pan and heat in pan on stove with 1 tablespoon instant cornstarch to thicken (the kind you don't need to mix with water before adding to recipes is my preference), then spoon over sliced pork!
