Recipe View Let the pork tenderloins rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with the reduced orange sauce. (10 minutes)

For an even deeper flavor, add a teaspoon of grated orange zest to the marinade.
Pork tenderloin is lean and can dry out easily. Be sure not to overcook it. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
The reduced orange sauce can also be thickened with a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) for a glossier finish.
Serve with roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts for a complete and balanced meal.

    I marinated the pork overnight, and it was incredibly delicious. The orange sauce is the perfect complement.

  • Nasir Hessel

    The pork was a bit dry when I cooked it, but I think it was because I overcooked it. I'll be sure to use a meat thermometer next time.
