Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, pineapple juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until well mixed.
Heat the avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet (or cast iron pan) over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the pork loin in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork loin with the sauce every 10 minutes for maximum flavor.
Once cooked, transfer the pork loin to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the pork rests, make the sauce thicker: mix the arrowroot powder with water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Heat the skillet with the teriyaki sauce over medium heat and stir in the arrowroot slurry. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
Slice the pork loin and arrange it on a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the slices.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
