Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 3/4 pound each)
  • â…“ cup soy sauce
  • â…“ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 dash red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 6 green onions, sliced into rings
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

1. The key to achieving that mouthwatering Hoisin Glazed Pork Tenderloin starts with the marinade. In a large freezer-safe bag, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vegetable oil, sugar, crushed garlic, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Add the pork tenderloins, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or even overnight, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even coverage.

2. Once the pork has had a chance to marinate, it’s time to bring it to life in the oven. Preheat your oven to a blazing 500°F and line a small roasting pan with foil. Place a wire rack on the pan and give it a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray.

3. Carefully transfer the marinated tenderloins onto the prepared rack. Pour the reserved ½ cup of marinade liquid into a small saucepan – we’ll be using this later to create the mouthwatering glaze.

4. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 9 minutes, then flip the tenderloins and roast for another ~9 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches a juicy 160°F. Let the pork rest for 8 minutes before slicing – this allows the natural juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.

5. While the pork is resting, it’s time to work on that showstopping glaze. Take the reserved marinade liquid in the saucepan and bring it to a low boil. Let it simmer slowly for about 6 minutes, allowing the flavors to concentrate and the sauce to thicken slightly.

6. Once the simmering is done, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. This creamy addition will transform the glaze into a luxurious, glossy coating that will make your Hoisin Glazed Pork Tenderloin shine.

7. Grab your sharpest carving knife and slice the tender pork into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices over a bed of freshly cooked rice, then ladle the hot, glistening glaze over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

To achieve the perfect glaze consistency, start by combining hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and any additional ingredients (like sugar or garlic) in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to simmer gently while stirring frequently. If the glaze is too thick, you can add a splash of water or broth to thin it out. Conversely, if it’s too thin, let it simmer longer to reduce and thicken. The ideal glaze should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable for easy application on the pork. Remember to brush it on during the last few minutes of cooking for a glossy finish.
