Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with a paper towel. Season all sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

While the pork is cooking, prepare the East West barbecue sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Step 6

Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the East West barbecue sauce generously over the sliced pork. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, like steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
