Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin, then cut it into 1-inch-thick medallions.
Season both sides of the medallions with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Sear the pork medallions for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and reduce the heat to medium.
Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and stir constantly as it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked pork medallions to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Transfer the pork medallions to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
