- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 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 minced fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
Steps
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).
Marinate the pork for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Remove tenderloin from the marinade and discard the marinade.
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.
While pork is cooking, combine reserved sauce with 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
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.
Remove pork from the oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle pork with thickened sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
