A flavorful and tender pork tenderloin marinated in a blend of Asian-inspired ingredients, perfect for a main course or appetizer.
Combine the soy sauce, miso, five spice powder, minced garlic, sherry, sake, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Place the pork tenderloin in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it.
Remove as much air as possible from the bag to ensure the pork is fully coated.
Refrigerate the pork in the marinade for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight yields the best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork inside.
Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on a wire rack set over a baking tray.
Discard the used marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork.
This helps monitor the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Roast the pork in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Cooking to 145°F ensures the pork is juicy and safe to eat.
Let the pork rest on the wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Slice the pork into thin pieces and serve as desired.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
