A ginger glaze and broiled pineapple slices give this pork tenderloin dish a succulent, sweet flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices (each ½ inch thick) fresh pineapple

  • 3 tablespoons dark hoisin sauce

  • 2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • Quick Ginger Sauce

Directions

  1. Heat broiler. Place pineapple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet.

  2. In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and mustard. Place pork on a broiler pan fitted with a rack. Brush with hoisin mixture; season with salt and pepper.

  3. Place pork in broiler, about 4 inches from heat; place pineapple in oven. Broil pork until it registers 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from broiler (let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise to 160 degrees as pork sits). Turn pineapple slices; cook until browned in spots, about 10 minutes more.

  4. Halve pineapple slices; arrange on a platter with sliced pork. Drizzle pork with pan juices; season with salt and pepper. Serve with Quick Ginger Sauce.

Cook's Notes

If your broiler is located inside the oven (rather than in a separate compartment underneath), place the pork on the top shelf and the pineapple on the shelf below.
