Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 0.5 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Place it in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over it, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and grill for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, red bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Top the salad with the sliced teriyaki pork and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Teriyaki Pork Salad!
