Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your mixing bowl and whisk with the marinade ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and Sriracha.
  3. Transfer the pork tenderloin into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. After marinating, let the pork sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  5. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Pour the reserved marinade over the pork tenderloin and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  7. Roast for 15-20 minutes, basting with the sauce halfway through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Slice the pork into medallions and arrange on a platter, drizzling with remaining sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
