Asian-Style Roast Pork Tenderloin

Hoisin sauce complements any meat or poultry, but has a particular affinity for pork and lamb.

Prep Time: 2 hours

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes

Ingredients:

·        2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

·        2 tablespoons soy sauce

·        2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

·        1 teaspoon sesame oil

·        2 teaspoons grated ginger

·        2 cloves garlic, pressed

·        1 pound pork tenderloin

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients except pork. Add pork and marinate, covered and refrigerated, 2 hours or longer.

Preheat over to 400 degrees. Drain pork, reserving marinade. Place on a rack over a roasting pan. Roast 25 - 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees (the pork should be barely pink inside), turning pork occasionally and basting with reserve marinade. Slice 1/4" to serve.

Note: You can substitute a lamb sirloin roast for the pork. Roast until lam is well-browned on the outside but still rare on the inside.
