Roasted Asian-Style Pork Tenderloin

2 pork tenderloins, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each

Marinade:

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons pineapple juice concentrate, thawed

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons dry sherry

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped

1 large garlic clove, minced

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon sesame oil

8 fresh or canned pineapple rings

2 tablespoons melted butter

Trim the silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloins.

Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade and let stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Line a large, shallow baking dish with aluminum foil and place the pork tenderloins about 2 inches apart in the dish. Pour half of the marinade over the pork (reserve the remaining marinade) and turn to coat them on all sides with the marinade. Roast the tenderloins in a 425 degree oven, basting with the pan juices 2 or 3 times, for 30 to 35 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees. Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pineapple rings with melted butter and place them in the skillet. Sear the pineapple rings, about 2 minutes each side, until golden.

Slice the pork tenderloins into 1/2 -inch thick slices and arrange them on dinner plates. Drizzle the pork with the warm marinade and garnish with pineapple rings. Serves 4 to 6.
