Description

These Thai-inspired pork tenderloins are marinated in orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, and ginger, then oven-roasted until tender.

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins
1/2 cup chicken stock

Directions

1 Whisk cilantro, orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes together in a medium bowl until well combined.
2 Place pork tenderloins into a glass baking dish; pour orange juice mixture over the top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours or overnight.
3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
4 Transfer pork tenderloins to the prepared baking sheet, reserving marinade.
5 Cook in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
6 While the pork is cooking, combine reserved marinade and chicken stock in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
7 Cut tenderloins into 1/4-inch slices and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon sauce over sliced pork to serve.
