Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 1 serving (with leftovers)

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups chicken broth (13 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup or 2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil

Special Equipment

an instant-read thermometer

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk together 2/3 cup broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, garlic, and vinegar and pour into a large sealable plastic bag. Add tenderloin and seal bag, then marinate, chilled, turning bag over occasionally, 2 hours.

    Step 2

    Bring tenderloin to room temperature, about 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.

    Step 4

    Pat tenderloin dry and reserve marinade. Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown tenderloin on all sides, turning with tongs, about 3 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and roast pork until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 155°F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes.

    Step 5

    While meat is roasting, pour marinade through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan and boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in remaining cup broth and bring sauce to a simmer. Serve slices of tenderloin with sauce.
