This honey garlic pork tenderloin, delicious and perfectly cooked, begins with a Chinese five spice-based rub, and bakes while you make the sweet-savory honey garlic sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 1 pound
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with a wire rack.

  3. 3

    Trim silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin.

  4. 4

    Combine brown sugar, salt, Chinese five spice powder, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a small bowl.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle tenderloin all over with spice mixture, rubbing to coat.

  6. 6

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tenderloin until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Place tenderloin on the rack in the prepared pan.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center reads 140 degrees F (61 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes.

  8. 8

    Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) or higher.

  9. 9

    Meanwhile for sauce, heat honey, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic in the same skillet. Simmer until liquid reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes.

  10. 10

    Slice pork and serve with warm sauce.
