Ingredients

  • 2 (12 oz.) cans of Sprite
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp. minced ginger
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 pork tenderloin (2 pieces, 1.5-2 lbs. total)

Directions

  1. Place pork tenderloin pieces in a refrigerator-safe bag. Set aside.
  2. Combine soy sauce, olive oil, ginger and onion powder in a small bowl. Whisk, then pour in both cans of Sprite. Stir, then remove about ½ cup of the marinade to use when serving. Set aside.
  3. Pour remaining marinade over pork tenderloin.
  4. Close bag and place in fridge to marinate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. When ready to roast, preheat oven to 425°F.
  6. Place pork on lined baking tray. You can place tenderloin pieces separately or tie them together using meat twine.
  7. Roast pork for 20-25 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 140°F at the thickest part. Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Prepare gravy by taking 1 tablespoon of reserved marinade and stirring that into 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour mixture into remaining marinade and microwave for 2-3 minutes, until mixture is thickened and boiling.
  9. Slice pork and drizzle with gravy. Enjoy!
