Ingredients

2 14-16 oz. pork tenderloins
1/4 cup kosher salt
3 cups warm water
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup ice cubes
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic

3/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup seedless blackberry preserves
1/4 cup hoisin sauce

Steps

Stir the kosher salt, warm water, red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl, add the pork, and chill for 15 minutes.
Drain and pat the pork dry, then season it with pepper and salt.
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and brown the tenderloins for 3 minutes per side.
Melt the butter in the skillet, then cook the garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
Stir in the preserves, hoisin sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, then coat the pork.
Roast at 400 F for 15 to 20 minutes, brushing with glaze twice, until the pork reaches 145 F; rest for 5 minutes and top with green onions.
