Teriyaki pork tenderloin is a popular Japanese-inspired dish that involves marinating and roasting a pork tenderloin in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, sherry, ginger, and garlic. This dish is perfect for any occasion and can be easily adapted to meet dietary restrictions or preferences by using gluten-free soy sauce or substituting the pork with chicken or tofu. It is a delicious and simple way to add protein and flavor to your diet.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.	In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sherry, green onions, brown sugar, ginger and garlic.
3.	Pour marinade into a large resealable bag and add in pork tenderloin. Massage tenderloin in the bag with the marinade to ensure it is fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
4.	Remove pork from the bag but reserve the marinade.
5.	Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add pork and sear on all sides until browned.
6.	Pour the reserved marinade over the pork and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
7.	Remove pork from the oven and cover with aluminum foil to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
