Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup minced white onion
  • 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion, ginger, and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Add water and sugar; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat; carefully stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and mustard. Add butter, stirring with a whisk. Set aside; keep warm.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Rub tenderloins evenly with crushed peppercorns, thyme, and salt. Heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add tenderloins, browning on all sides (about 5 minutes). Bake at 350° for 23 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink); let stand 10 minutes. Cut each tenderloin into 12 slices; serve with sauce.
