A delightful twist on a classic Asian-inspired pork dish, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the pork.
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into medallions about 1 inch thick.
Cutting the pork into medallions helps it cook faster and more evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Arrange the pork medallions in a baking dish and pour the glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Use a spoon to evenly distribute the glaze over the pork.
Bake the pork in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Check the temperature with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Garnish the pork medallions with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Adding garnishes enhances the presentation and adds a fresh flavor.
