Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
- Sear the Pork: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of oil, and sear the marinated pork on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Slice: Remove the pork from the oven, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it into medallions.
- Serve: Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy with rice or your favorite sides.
