Recipe Introduction

This was so good and so easy. You can do the sauce, the rub and prep the meat ahead of time and then you are just 30 minutes away from a great dinner. This is a great weeknight dinner. I served this with grilled pineapple brushed with teriyaki sauce and stir fried bean sprouts.

List of Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins, trimmed (1-1 1/2 lb. each)
2 T. Chinese five-spice powder
1 T. kosher salt
1 T. ground black pepper
2 T. peanut oil
1/3 c. Chinese plum sauce
2 T. honey
1 T. tomato paste
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. rice vinegar
1 T. fresh ginger, minced
1 T. pineapple juice
1 t. chili garlic sauce
Fresh Chives



Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix 5-spice powder, salt and pepper and rub over the meat. Heat oil over medium-high heat in large ovenproof skillet and brown meat on all sides.

Simmer the rest of the ingredients in small saucepan for 1 minute and pour over the meat and brush to coat. Put the pan in the oven and roast until the meat reaches 140 degrees, 15 - 20 minutes. Remove meat from pan and let sit 10 minutes. Garnish with the chives.

Serves 8 - 10.
