Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Trim tenderloins of silver skin and excess fat. Combine five-spice, salt, and pepper, then rub over both tenderloins. Heat oil in an ovenproof saute pan over medium high heat; sear pork on all sides, 5 minutes. Simmer remaining ingredients (except chives) in a saucepan for 1 minute; pour over pork. Transfer pan to the oven and roast 20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140. Remove pork from pan; let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives.
