Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1 cup orange juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat or silver skin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, orange zest, ground black pepper, salt, and optional red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 5

Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 6

Broil the pork tenderloin for 5-7 minutes per side, turning once, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C). This should take about 15-20 minutes total, depending on the size of the tenderloin.

Step 7

While the pork is broiling, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. This will be used as a glaze.

Step 8

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Drizzle the thickened glaze over the sliced pork tenderloin and garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
