Asian Spiced Pork Tenderloin

This Asian Spiced Pork Tenderloin is an easy-to-prepare pork tenderloin recipe full of flavor.

How to make Asian Spiced Pork Tenderloin:

This is a super easy way to prepare pork tenderloin. Simply put all of the marinade ingredients in a large zip baggie. Remove the fat and silverskin from the pork, and add it to the marinade in the bag. Marinate for 6 to 8 hours (or overnight). Roast in the oven until the pork reaches a “safe” temperature of 145 degrees. Slice, and serve. That’s it!

How to remove the silverskin from pork tenderloin:

Silverskin is a layer of tough tissue found on a pork tenderloin. You don’t want to leave the silverskin on the tenderloin because it’s a chewy part of the loin that isn’t nice to eat. It’s easy to remove it. You’ll need a sharp, thin knife. Pull the fat off of the tenderloin, and you should be able to locate the silverskin just below the layer of fat. Slide the knife just under the silverskin and pull it up. As you hold on to one end of the silverskin, you can slide the knife underneath it to cut it off the tenderloin. Try your best to keep the knife close to the silverskin so you don’t pull off the meat with it. Then discard the silverskin.
