By Dianewaldron

Allow at least 4 hours to marinate. Gluten-free recipe. Moist & delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 T chopped garlic
• 1 T honey
• 2 T gluten-free hoisin sauce, such as Joyce Chen
• 2 T gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 T rice wine (sake)
• 1/8 t white pepper powder
• 1/2 t five-spice powder
• 2 T beet juice or a few drops of red coloring (optional)
• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1 T cooking oil
• 2 T honey

Preparation

Step 1

Put the garlic, honey, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine, white pepper powder, five-spice powder and beet juice or a few drops of red coloring (optional) into a mixing bowl. Mix well. Put the pork tenderloin in the bowl, coat well and marinate for 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Take the tenderloin out of the marinade and bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature of the meat reaches 140 F degrees (use meat thermometer for best results). Remove the meat from the oven and brush with the cooking oil and then with honey.

Preheat the broiler and broil the tenderloin for 3-5 minutes, until charred. Turn the meat over and brush with the cooking oil and then with honey and broil this side until charred. Let the tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
