A flavorful and easy-to-make pork tenderloin recipe with an Asian-inspired glaze.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
Ensure the pork is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Place the pork on a broiler pan and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part.
Using a broiler pan helps with even cooking and fat drainage.
Bake the pork in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Set a timer to avoid overcooking.
In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, orange juice, and sesame oil.
Mix until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
Brush the glaze over the pork tenderloin.
Apply generously for a rich flavor.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Check the temperature early to avoid overcooking.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
