Ingredients:
- 2 to 2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Line a baking pan with foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Pork: Place the pork tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply Hoisin Sauce: Spread hoisin sauce generously over the pork tenderloins, gently rubbing it into the meat with your fingers.
- Add Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are evenly coated by turning them.
- Roast: Transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack of the oven and roast for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness, aiming for a slightly pinkish center for shorter cooking times and a more well-done result for longer cooking times.
- Serve: Once cooked to perfection, serve the juicy pork tenderloin with rice for a satisfying meal.
- Optional Sauce Thickening: If desired, thicken the sauce by adding cornstarch. If there isn’t enough juice from cooking the tenderloin, simply add a bit more hoisin sauce and warm it with the pork juices for a delectable finishing touch.
