How To Make asian pork tenderloin

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375ºF and generously season pork with salt and pepper.
  • 2
    In a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, add canola oil and when it starts shimmering, add the seasoned pork; sear on one side until browned.
  • 3
    Flip it over and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 16 to 20 minutes depending on the size or until the internal temperature reaches 140ºF.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add chicken broth, apricot jam, honey, red miso paste, mirin, sambal oelek, and sesame oil. Whisk the ingredients until well incorporated and the sauce is smooth; set aside.
  • 5
    When the meat is cooked, transfer to a cutting board, form a tent with a piece of foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • 6
    Return the skillet on the stove top and using tongs and a paper towel, remove oil leaving about 1 tablespoon of it.
  • 7
    Add ginger and garlic. Set the heat on medium and sauté for only 1 minute scraping the bottom of the pan to dislodge any brown bits.
  • 8
    Pour in the apricot sauce, stir to mix and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until it thickens, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often.
  • 9
    Add nira chives, stir and spoon the sauce over sliced pork tenderloin. Served with steamed rice and veggies.
