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) pork tenderloin

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1/3 cup honey

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

Description

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with a wire rack.
  2. Trim silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin.
  3. Combine brown sugar, salt, Chinese five spice powder, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Sprinkle tenderloin all over with spice mixture, rubbing to coat.
  5. 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.
  6. 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. 
  7. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) or higher.
  8. Meanwhile for sauce, heat honey, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic in the same skillet. Simmer until liquid reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes. 
  9. Slice pork and serve with warm sauce.
