Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 0.5 cups Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (unseasoned)
- 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Scallions, sliced thinly (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, sugar-free sweetener, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to make the keto teriyaki marinade.
Place the pork loin in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag (if using) and ensure the pork is fully coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the pork loin from the marinade and place it on a roasting pan or baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later.
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer. Baste the pork with the reserved marinade once or twice during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
While the pork is roasting, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking continuously to thicken the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency, then remove it from the heat.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the sliced pork loin. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly sides, such as steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
