Company Pork Tenderloin

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 50 Min

Don't let the name fool you, 'cause this pork tenderloin is fancy enough to serve to company but certainly just as at-home on your weeknight dinner table. The simple blend of Asian seasonings will make this dish one of your favorite Chinese pork recipes.

What You'll Need

1/2 cup bottled sweet-and-sour (duck) sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (see Note)
2 pork tenderloins (1-1/2 to 2 pounds total)

What to Do

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, then coat foil with cooking spray.
In a measuring cup, combine sweet-and-sour sauce, soy sauce, and ground red pepper; mix well. Place pork on baking sheet and pour half sauce over top.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until little pink remains for medium-well, or no pink remains for well-done. Slice thinly and serve topped with remaining sauce.

Notes

If you like a spicier sauce, add more ground red pepper.

Hello! - You can buy any size of any variety duck sauce you prefer, so long as you can get a 1/2 cup out of it. You will need at least a 4-ounce bottle for this recipe. Enjoy!

We loved this, but the sodium content pushes it to the limit for us (or I'd have given this 5 stars). Could this be converted to a crock pot recipe and still retain the flavor but possibly reduce the sodium?

Hello Francis! You can use low-sodium soy sauce to lower the sodium content in this recipe. You can also make it in your slow cooker! Just cook on low for 4-5 hours. Enjoy!

Finding a good recipe for a pork roast is difficult. Living on a very low income, I found a boneless pork shoulder roast for 1.59 a pound. I am trusting this will do me honors!!
