Directions

Make the teriyaki sauce

  1. 1

    In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and minced garlic.

Marinade the pork tenderloin

  1. 1

    Place the pork tenderloin in a large plastic Ziploc bag. Add half of the teriyaki sauce to the bag and seal. Reserve the remaining teriyaki sauce for later in the recipe. Move the tenderloin around to coat it in the teriyaki sauce. Marinate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.

  2. 2

    When ready to cook the pork tenderloin, preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade and place it on the prepared pan. Discard the marinade.

  3. 3

    Cook the pork tenderloin until the internal temperature reaches 145℉, about 40 to 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the pork is cooking, make the sauce. Combine the reserved teriyaki sauce with 3 tablespoons of water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Combine the cornstarch with one tablespoon of water. Add it to the simmering sauce to thicken it.

  6. 6

    Remove the pork from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Drizzle sliced pork with sauce and garnish with sliced green onions.

About this Recipe

Craving a succulent, flavor-packed dinner that's surprisingly simple to master? This Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin recipe delivers a juicy and irresistible meal perfect for any occasion.

This recipe works by creating a deeply flavored pork tenderloin, leveraging a vibrant marinade crafted from soy sauce, pineapple juice, and brown sugar, brightened by fresh garlic. This thoughtful combination ensures the pork remains incredibly juicy while infusing it with layers of sweet and savory notes.

What to Expect You can anticipate a tender, succulent pork tenderloin with a beautiful, glossy teriyaki finish. The dish balances the richness of soy with the bright tang of pineapple and the comforting sweetness of brown sugar, all underscored by aromatic garlic. This results in a flavorful and satisfying main course that feels special yet is approachable enough for any home cook.

Customization & Variations While pork tenderloin is the star, you can easily adapt this flavorful approach for other proteins like chicken breasts or thighs. For a vegetarian option, firm tofu would also absorb these delicious flavors beautifully. Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar if you prefer a less sweet or more savory profile.

Serving & Context Serve this delightful Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin with steamed rice to soak up every drop of sauce, alongside your favorite crisp-tender stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying dinner. It’s an excellent choice for a weeknight family meal or when entertaining friends.
