Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (about 1.5 lb) pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Fresh pineapple slices for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. This is your teriyaki sauce.
  3. Place the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the pork, turning to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  4. Roast the pork for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C).
  5. While the pork roasts, prepare the glaze thickener. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  6. Once the pork reaches temperature, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. While the pork rests, pour the reserved teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glaze, about 1 minute.
  9. Slice the rested pork tenderloin. Drizzle generously with the warm pineapple teriyaki glaze.
  10. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the pork to rest before slicing; this keeps the juices inside.
  • You can use canned pineapple juice if fresh is not available.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or roasted seasonal vegetables.
