  • Whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, peanut butter, and ginger in a medium bowl until well combined. Place pork tenderloins in a glass baking dish; pour orange juice mixture over the top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer pork tenderloins to the prepared baking sheet, reserving marinade.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • While pork is cooking, combine reserved marinade and chicken stock in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Cut tenderloins into 1/4-inch slices and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon sauce over sliced pork to serve.
