→ Glaze
10 -
3 tablespoons brown sugar
11 -
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
12 -
2 tablespoons water
13 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
14 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
15 -
⅓ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
16 -
½ cup honey
# Steps:
01 -
Set oven to 350°F. Trim any excess fat from pork and poke small holes using a fork to let flavors sink in.
02 -
Mix orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and all the herbs together. Cover the tenderloin completely with this blend.
03 -
Warm butter in a skillet that can go in the oven. Sear the pork on every side until it has a golden crust, about 2-3 minutes per side.
04 -
Move the skillet to the oven and cook the tenderloin for 18 to 20 minutes until it's done.
05 -
Gently heat up the rest of the honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a pot. Stir in a mix of water and cornstarch to thicken.
06 -
Brush pork with glaze and pop it under the broiler for 3 minutes to create a sticky coating. Let it rest a few minutes before cutting.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Poking small holes in the tenderloin helps it soak up flavors better.
02 -
Use a skillet that can go straight from the stovetop to the oven for less hassle.
