24 ounces pork tenderloins (2 loins), trimmed

¼ cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

Why This Recipe Works

A combination of hoisin, soy sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar add plenty of flavor to pork tenderloins—without the need for marinating time.

Before You Begin

Buy tenderloins that are of equal size and weight so they cook at the same rate; make sure they are no larger than 12 ounces, as bigger tenderloins won’t fit in the skillet together.

Instructions

Pound tenderloins between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1-inch thickness. Pat tenderloins dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Whisk broth, hoisin, sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together in bowl.

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook tenderloins until well browned on both sides and meat registers 140 degrees, about 7 minutes per side. Add hoisin mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 5 minutes, turning tenderloins to coat.

Remove skillet from heat and let pork rest in sauce for 5 minutes, then slice 1/2 inch thick. Serve, drizzled with glaze and sprinkled with scallions and sesame seeds.
