“We eat a lot of pork tenderloin in our house. It’s a great alternative to chicken as it’s super healthy, lean and tender and so easy to prepare. We all love this recipe, made with our exceptional quality pork from England.” – Sasha Conlan, Founder of Sasha’s Fine Foods
Ingredients (serves 10)
- 2 Wicks Manor English Pork Tenderloins
- 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Honey Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup tamari
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
#1 Prepare a baking tray by covering it with foil. Set aside.
#2 In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder and ground cinnamon. Rub on all sides of both pork loins and let them sit for 30 minutes. (If you need to wait longer than 30 minutes, be sure to put the pork in the refrigerator.)
#3 Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place a large frying pan on the stove over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add about one tablespoon of olive oil.
#4 Add the pork to the pan, one at a time, and sear each side for one to two minutes, until nicely browned.
#5 Put the pork on the prepared baking sheet and put into the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the temperature registers between 62 and 68 degrees Celsius on a meat thermometer.
#6 Let the meat rest for ten minutes before slicing.
#7 In a medium-size saucepan on the stove, add the honey, tamari, extra virgin olive oil, hoisin sauce, minced onion, minced garlic and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to boil.
#8 Mix the cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl or cup. When the sauce ingredients come to a boil, slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture, and continue to boil, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Remove from the heat to allow it to cool slightly and thicken a little more. (You can add the red pepper flakes now if desired).
#9 When ready to serve, slice the meat and arrange on a platter. Pour desired amount of sauce over the top, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve with rice and a lovely green salad.
