Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1 lb each) Pork tenderloins
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons Red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 sliced Green onions
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
Instructions
Trim any excess silver skin or fat from the pork tenderloins and set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and red curry paste. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring the meat is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat them dry with paper towels.
Sear the pork tenderloins in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned evenly.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the tenderloins reaches 145°F (63°C). Be sure to baste the pork with the marinade occasionally during cooking for added flavor.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish the tenderloins with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with steamed rice or fresh vegetables, and enjoy!
