Ingredients
- 3tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2pork tenderloins
- ½teaspoon olive oil
- ½cup dry sake or mirin
- 1cup stemmed and thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1tablespoon thinly sliced scallions
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Combine 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce and the mustard in a small bowl. Place the pork tenderloins in a shallow dish and rub all over with the marinade. Let stand for 1 hour.
- Step 2
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat the olive oil in an overproof, flameproof roasting pan over medium-high heat. Wipe the marinade off of the pork, place in the pan and sear until browned, about 1 minute per side.
- Step 3
Roast the tenderloins until they are only slightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes, turning them once. Remove the pork from the pan and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce and the sake or mirin to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom, about 2 minutes.
- Step 4
Add the mushrooms and the scallions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper. Slice the tenderloins into ¼-inch thick slices and divide among 4 plates. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the pork and serve immediately.

I had my butcher trim two fresh tenderloins and ended up with approx. 1 lb each. Use low sodium soy (or Coconut Aminos if you want even less sodium). Boiled the marinade for a few minutes while pork was in oven and added 2 tbs good rice wine vinegar. Added this to mushroom sauce, which ended up with little liquid. Excellent. Do not skip 1 hour marination and use good quality meat. Great and simple. Can be done in a large cast iron.
Subbed white mushrooms for shiitakes, sweet marsala for sake. Served with baked potato and roasted cauliflower. Wife and I loved it.
Made this tonight with modifications suggested by others. I doubled the sauce, which is definitely necessary Also added Siracha, which added a little bite. And two tablespoons of butter at the very end. Delicious.
Also only left my one tenderloin in the oven for 9 minutes. Perfect.
Delicious! As suggested, I doubled the sauce and added sriracha. This will definitely be a staple.
