Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin 907.185 grams
  • 1/2 tablespoon corn starch

Teriyaki Marinade

  • 1 cup water 236.588 ml
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce 78.86 ml (please see my section in the post on how to replace soy sauce to make gluten free teriyaki sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the teriyaki marinade. Reserve half of the sauce and store in the refrigerator.
    1 cup water, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger, 3 cloves garlic
  • Pour the other half of the sauce over the pork tenderloin in a reusable container. Marinate for 1-24 hours in the refrigerator.

  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Remove the pork from the marinade. Discard the extra marinade. Place the pork in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Lower the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until the pork registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the pork is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and add the cornstarch. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  • Remove the pork from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the thickened sauce.
