Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 60 ml Gluten-free soy sauce
- 30 grams Brown sugar
- 15 ml Sesame oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 units Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 unit Pear, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chopped green onions.
Add the grated pear, red pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, and black pepper to the marinade, and mix everything well until the sugar completely dissolves.
Pour the marinade over the pork strips, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If needed, lightly oil the pan with a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated pork slices in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. You may need to cook the pork in batches for even cooking.
Cook the pork for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the meat is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Remove the pork from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or lettuce leaves for a light wrap option.
