Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Pomegranate seeds
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch-thick medallions and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork medallions to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the pomegranate juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the pork medallions to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Plate the pork medallions and drizzle with the garlic ginger pomegranate sauce. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
