- When you’re ready to cook the tenderloin, and preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet or baking dish with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray.
- Place the tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet, and discard the marinade.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Allow the pork to rest for 5-10 before slicing and serving.
- While the meat is cooking, transfer the reserved soy sauce mixture to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and combine the cornstarch and water together to make a cornstarch “slurry.”1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water
