Description

This classic Chinese-style pork tenderloin is incredibly tender and packed with deep, savory flavors from hoisin, black bean sauce, and five-spice powder.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloins, tuck the ends under, and tie each tenderloin with kitchen string to maintain shape.
  2. Place the prepared tenderloins in a shallow glass dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together light soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, black bean sauce, minced ginger, packed brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and five-spice powder until smooth.
  4. Pour the marinade over the tenderloins, turning them to coat evenly.
  5. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning the meat occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
  6. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  8. Place the tenderloins on a rack set inside a roasting pan, reserving the marinade in the bowl.
  9. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the roasting pan to prevent the drippings from burning.
  10. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, basting generously with the reserved marinade four times during cooking.
  11. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted at a 20-degree angle registers 160ðF and the meat still has a slight hint of pink.
  12. Remove the tenderloins from the oven and transfer them to a cutting board, tenting loosely with foil.
  13. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  14. Remove the kitchen string from each tenderloin.
  15. Using a sharp knife, slice the pork diagonally into thin pieces before serving.
