- Unwrap the pork tenderloin and pat dry.
- Remove any excess fat and silver skin.

- To make the marinade, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice, honey, scallion, ginger and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and stir well with a whisk.
- Pour over pork tenderloin and seal bag.
- Massage the tenderloin around in the bag to coat it with the marinade.

- Discard marinade.
- Sear tenderloin for about 2 minutes per side until an even crust and grill marks have formed.
- Transfer to a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin.
- Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil.
- Let rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
