Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork loin
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water to create the teriyaki marinade.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and set it aside for later use.
Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork loin from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the pork loin for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
While the pork is grilling, prepare the teriyaki glaze by adding the reserved 1/4 cup of marinade to a small saucepan. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry, then stir it into the marinade.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the pork loin is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the teriyaki glaze over the sliced pork loin, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
