Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

How to Make Pork Tenderloin with Savory Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
3. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Add the pork tenderloin to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Pour the soy-ginger mixture over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. While the pork rests, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
8. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it over the green beans, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For even more flavor, marinate the pork in the soy-ginger sauce for 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is perfectly cooked without drying out.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the sauce on the stove for a few extra minutes after removing the pork.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the pork tenderloin with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add sliced bell peppers or carrots to the green beans for extra color and nutrition.
• Spice it up by adding red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha to the sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the savory sauce.
• A fresh cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes for a heartier side.
