Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is ideal).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
- Transfer the seared pork to a baking dish, brush with reserved marinade, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with steamed vegetables or rice drizzled with extra marinade.
