Directions
- Mix the cornstarch, honey, rum, hot sauce, garlic powder, sesame seeds, lemon juice, orange juice, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, mirin, cayenne, and mint in a gallon bag.
- Add the pork tenderloin and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a baking rack over a baking sheet.
- Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the pork on the rack. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the large sprig of mint. Pour the marinate into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until it becomes a glaze. Turn off the heat.
- Brush the pork with the glaze and cook 10 minutes.
- Again brush the pork with the glaze and cook 10 minutes.
- Cook, glazing every 10 minutes, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from the oven, glaze once more, and allow to rest 10 minutes.
- Slice the pork and garnish with mint and serve with any remaining glaze (thin with a touch of water and rewarm if needed).
