Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger.
  2. Step 2: Place 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Brush half of the honey-soy glaze evenly over the pork.
  3. Step 3: Roast pork for 20 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  4. Step 4: While pork roasts, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 5-6 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove skillet from heat and toss broccoli with 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Step 6: Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with sesame broccoli on the side.
