Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (or homemade below)
  • sesame seeds and green onions (for garnish)
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup orange juice (or pineapple juice)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)

Directions

  1. 1

    If making homemade sauce, combine teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add half of the teriyaki sauce to the pork tenderloin (refrigerate the remaining sauce to thicken for serving).

  2. 2

    Marinate the pork for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Remove tenderloin from the marinade and discard the marinade.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cook tenderloin 17-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145° F.

  4. 4

    While pork is cooking, combine reserved sauce with 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add to simmering sauce a bit at a time to thicken. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.

  6. 6

    Remove pork from the oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Drizzle pork with thickened sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
