Roasted Pork Tenderloin (with Five Spice Marinade)

This Roasted Pork Tenderloin recipe is a good-for-you meal that you can feel good about, thanks to Farm Promise. It comes out tender and juicy every time.

Cooking every night for a family is no easy task. Even a chef like Keith considers family meal planning to be a chore sometimes. There are so many things to consider: accommodating individual tastes, creating well-balanced meals in a limited amount of time, and serving healthy options that taste good. These are common challenges that all home cooks face, which is one reason why we created superman cooks.

Ingredients:

• 1 Farm Promise PORK TENDERLOIN (about 1.5 lb)
• GARLIC CLOVES: 8, crushed, but not chopped
• LIME JUICE: juice of 4 limes (about ½ C)
• SOY SAUCE: ¼ cup
• HONEY: ¼ cup
• FIVE SPICE SEASONING: 1 teaspoon
• GINGER: 1 tablespoon, chopped
• CRUSHED RED PEPPER: 1 ½ teaspoons

How to make this recipe:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350°.
2. In a 1 gallon zip-lock bag, combine all ingredients other than pork. Zip the bag and mix all ingredients together until well combined.
3. Add pork tenderloin to the marinade and zip closed, removing as much air as possible.
4. Transfer to refrigerator and allow to marinate at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
5. Using a grill pan or cast iron skillet that is oven safe, set on the stove over high heat. Remove pork tenderloin and reserve remaining marinade (save for later).
6. Place pork in the pan and sear all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Be careful as pork will burn if heat is too high.

How to roast pork tenderloin in the oven:

1. When pork is browned, transfer it to the oven, leaving it in the pan. Cook pork tenderloin for about 15 minutes or until pork reaches 145-150° internal temperature
2. While pork is cooking, pour reserved marinade into a sauté pan and heat over medium high heat, stirring often until sauce thickens to resemble gravy.
3. Once pork has reached the 145-150°, remove from oven and allow to rest for 3-4 minutes.
4. Slice pork on the bias in ½ inch slices and place on serving plate.
5. Spoon thickened sauce over pork and serve with your favorite side dishes. We used a combination of sautéed carrots, snap peas and grilled baby bok choy.
