A quick and easy honey sriracha glazed pork tenderloin recipe that balances sweet, spicy, and savory flavors for a perfect weeknight dinner or dinner party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 g)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  3. Season the pork generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
  5. Heat olive oil over medium-high in your skillet until shimmering but not smoking.
  6. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until it develops a golden-brown crust.
  7. Pour half the glaze over the pork in the skillet, turning once to coat all sides. Reserve the rest for basting.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, aiming for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  9. Every 5 minutes, baste the pork with the reserved glaze using a spoon or brush.
  10. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Slice the pork into medallions and drizzle any pan juices over the top.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Do not skip resting the pork after roasting to retain juices. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos or tamari. Adjust sriracha to control spice level. Baste every 5 minutes during roasting for a sticky glaze. If grilling, apply glaze in the last few minutes to avoid burning.
