Easy Asian-inspired pork tenderloin: Quick dinner fix

Pork tenderloin is a versatile meat in our cuisine, commonly used in aromatic sauces, stews, and roasted whole. Typically, we use traditional spices for pork, such as paprika, garlic, and oregano. Preparing it in an Asian style can pleasantly surprise your guests or family.

Pork tenderloin is very delicate, tender, and lean. It contains protein that is easily digestible. It is also rich in vitamin B12, which supports the production of red blood cells and the nervous system. Another important nutrient is zinc, essential for proper circulatory system function, blood pressure stabilization, and improving immunity. What else do we appreciate about it? Pork tenderloin is low in fat, containing only 3.51 grams per 100 grams.

Pork tenderloin is delicate and quickly absorbs flavors, making it ideal for marinating. How can you give it an oriental taste? Prepare a marinade based on soy sauce. Soy sauce is a staple of Asian cuisine, adding a rich umami flavor to meat dishes. It's best to combine it with sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger. This combination results in a deeper flavor and juicy, tender meat. It's advisable to marinate the tenderloin for a few hours. Then, you need to bake it for about 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 14 oz pork tenderloin
• 7 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp hot paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation method:

1. Mix the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, hot paprika, pepper, and a pinch of salt.
2. Clean the tenderloin and place it in a container with the marinade. Carefully rub the mixture into the meat, then cover it.
3. Refrigerate the tenderloin for a few hours.
4. Take it out before baking so the meat reaches room temperature.
5. Bake the tenderloin at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.
