A delicious pork tenderloin marinated in a vibrant citrus and ginger infusion, perfect for special occasions or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound filet mignon de porc (pork tenderloin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, and freshly ground pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in a dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes (or up to overnight) to allow flavors to penetrate.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Sear the Pork: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Bake the Pork: Transfer the seared pork to an oven-safe dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
  6. Rest the Meat: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

Notes

Allowing the pork to marinate overnight enhances the flavor significantly. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
