Chinese Style Glazed Pork Tenderloin Recipes

CHINESE PORK TENERLOIN WITH HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Pork Tenderloins Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cinnamon. Rub on all sides of the tenderloins and let the tenderloins sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you need to wait longer than 30 minutes, be sure to put your tenderloins in the refrigerator). Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Put a large frying pan or skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. When pan is hot, add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the pork tenderloins to the hot pan, one at a time, and sear on all sides, about 1-2 minutes, until nicely browned. Put the pork tenderloins onto the foil-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145-155 degrees F. on a meat thermometer. Do not overbake. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange on a serving platter and cover with the Honey Garlic Sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. For the Honey Garlic Sauce While the pork tenderloins are baking in the oven, prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce. In a medium-sized saucepan on the stove, add the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, hoisin sauce, minced onion, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to boil. Mix the corn starch and cold water together in a cup or bowl. When the sauce mixture begins to boil, slowly pour the corn starch mixture into the boiling sauce, whisking continuously as you pour. Continue to whisk the sauce until it thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. (The sauce will thicken more as it cools). Add red pepper flakes if desired. When ready to serve, pour the desired amount of sauce over the sliced pork on your serving platter. (You may not use all the sauce, depending on your preferences).

HONEY GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and balsamic vinegar.
• Place the pork tenderloins in a roasting pan, and roast 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
• Remove pork from oven, and baste with the honey sauce. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue roasting pork 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the honey sauce, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ASIAN GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a small roasting pan (or use a 9X13-inch baking dish) with foil and lightly oil the foil. This is important because the glaze has a high sugar content and will scorch during roasting.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon ginger, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper in a self-sealing plastic bag and mix to dissolve the sugar. Add the pork tenderloins and close the bag. Toss the meat in the bag to coat it with the marinade. Marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and place in the roasting pan. Drizzle about half of the marinade over the pork. Discard the remaining marinade. Roast for 15 minutes. Baste the pork with the marinade in the roasting pan. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer reads 150-155, about 25 minutes more. The marinade will eventually thicken and scorch, but the foil will protect the pan, so don't worry. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
• While the pork is resting, bring the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper to a boil over high heat in a small saucepan.
• Cut the roast pork crosswise on a slight diagonal into thin slices and arrange the overlapping slices on a platter. Drizzle the hot marinade over the pork, sprinkle with the scallion, and serve immediately.

CHINESE-STYLE GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Lay tenderloins on cutting board with long side running parallel to counter edge. Cut horizontally down length of tenderloins, stopping 1/2-inch from edge so halves remain intact. Working with one at a time, open up tenderloins, place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and pound to 3/4-inch thickness. Combine soy sauce, preserves, hoisin sauce, sherry, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, five-spice powder, and pepper in bowl. Reserve 3/4 cup marinade. Place pork in large zipper-lock bag and pour remaining marinade into bag with pork. Seal bag, turn to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Combine reserved marinade, ketchup, and molasses in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, 3 to 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup glaze for glazing cooked tenderloin. Charcoal grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. Gas grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Turn all burners to medium-high. Clean and oil cooking grate. Pat pork dry with paper towels, then rub with vegetable oil. Grill pork (covered if using gas) until lightly charred on first side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brush grilled side of pork evenly with 2 tablespoons glaze. Continue grilling until lightly charred on second side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brush evenly with 2 more tablespoons glaze. Repeat flipping and glazing twice more, until pork registers 140°F and is thickly glazed, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer pork to cutting board and brush with reserved glaze. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

GRILLED CHINESE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Place the pork in a large resealable plastic bag; add half of the marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting., Drain and discard marinade. Grill pork, covered, over hot heat for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
• Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

ASIAN GLAZED ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Notes: I doubled the recipe for the marinade/sauce, because I wanted more leftover to glaze, and only used one pork tenderloin, since I am cooking for 2. (I found that I didn't have as much marinade/glaze as I wanted, until I adapted the recipe.) Feel free to use 2 pork tenderloins, which is how they are usually sold. I only use one pork tenderloin and wanted plenty of extra sauce! Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small roasting pan (or use a 9X13-inch baking dish) with foil and lightly oil the foil. This is important because the glaze has a high sugar content and will scorch during roasting. Note: Instead of using a roasting pan, lined with foil, I used a non-stick oven-proof skillet. This made for very easy cleanup. Meanwhile, combine 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ginger, 3 teaspoons sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper in a self-sealing plastic bag and mix to dissolve the sugar. Add the pork tenderloin and close the bag. Toss the meat in the bag to coat it with the marinade. Marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and place in the roasting pan. Drizzle about half of the marinade over the pork. Discard the remaining marinade. Roast for 15 minutes. Baste the pork with the marinade in the roasting pan. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer reads 150-155, about 25 minutes more. (The marinade will eventually thicken and scorch, but the foil will protect the pan, so don't worry. (Because I used an oven-proof non-stick skillet, I wasn't the least bit worried. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. While the pork is resting, bring the remaining 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper to a boil over high heat in a small saucepan. Cut the roast pork crosswise on a slight diagonal into thin slices and arrange the overlapping slices on a platter. Drizzle the hot marinade over the pork, sprinkle with the scallion, and serve immediately.

CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)

Steps:

• Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
• Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
• Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
• Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

CHINESE STYLE GLAZED LOIN OF PORK

Steps:

• Slice pork into 4 slabs and place in a large zip lock bag.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour half into zip bag with the meat, smoosh around and allow to marinate for 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Pour the rest of the glaze into a small saucepan and cook until thickened.
• Sear meat on a grill or in a hot grill pan on the stove about 5 minutes per side.
• I added the liquid smoke to the glaze, because I cooked mine on the stove top in the grill pan.
• Brush both sides of meat with glaze and turn, cooking until no pink shows.
• Continue brushing with glaze until done.
• In the stovetop grill pan, I poured all the glaze into the pan and turned the meat every couple of minutes to coat completely, and cooked until no pink showed in the meat. This only takes a couple of minutes, since the meat is thin.
• Serve with fried rice and broccoli.
