Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons celtic sea salt
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
For the Marinade
- 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 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!
