Korean-Style Pork Tenderloin

  • 1/3 cup of low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp dark sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large zip lock bag, then add the pork. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Heat a large ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Remove pork from the bag, and place on a paper towel to dry off some liquid, reserve the marinade.

Add pork to pan, cook for 6 minutes, browning on all sides.

Place pan in the oven, and bake for 15 minutes or until the meat thermometer registers 155-160 degrees (medium) or until the desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Cut pork into 1/4 inch thick slices and drizzle with sauce. Enjoy.
