Pork tenderloin goes beautifully with this sweet Asian hoisin sauce. Serve alongside rice noodles or rice. 

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking oil and heat to medium-high. Sear the tenderloin for approximately 2 minutes per side, or just until browned. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Combine the hoisin, chili sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, ginger and soy sauce in a small bowl.

4. Brush approximately 2 Tbsp of the mixture over the tenderloin and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 145ºF for medium. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

5. Slice and serve with the remaining sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
