Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Sauce.
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a large glass or ceramic bowl and combine the pork tenderloin with a splash of olive oil, a generous drizzle of soy sauce, the zesty juice of a lime, minced onion, fresh ginger, a sprinkle of sugar, and your favorite flavor enhancer.
Step 2
Give everything a good toss to ensure the pork is evenly coated in this delicious marinade.
Step 3
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 4
This allows the flavors to really soak in and tenderize the meat.
Step 5
When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).
Step 6
Take the marinated pork out of the fridge and place it in a shallow baking pan.
Step 7
Pour a bit of the marinade over the pork for extra flavor, but be sure to discard the rest.
Step 8
Now, pop it in the oven and roast for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 9
You want the pork to be slightly pink in the center, so keep an eye on it.
Step 10
An instant-read thermometer should read at least 145°F (63°C) to ensure it’s perfectly cooked.
Step 11
Once done, let the pork rest for about 15 minutes; this step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, making every slice juicy and tender.
Step 12
While the pork is resting, let’s whip up a delightful cherry sauce.
Step 13
In a saucepan, mix together cherry preserves, a splash of red wine, corn syrup, a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt.
Step 14
Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then remove it from the heat and keep it warm.
Step 15
Now, it’s time to slice the rested pork tenderloin.
Step 16
Arrange the slices on a serving platter, drizzle the warm cherry sauce generously over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of sliced almonds for that perfect crunch.
Step 17
Serve this dish with pride and watch your guests delight in the beautiful flavors you’ve created!.
