1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mirin
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice and steamed or stir-fried broccoli, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Put the pork on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the peanut oil and rub all over with the five-spice powder. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Broil, flipping once, until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers about 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, ginger, mirin, soy sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Whisk in the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
Slice the pork, drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve with the rice and broccoli.
