Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch medallions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), for garnish
How to Make Glazed Pork Tenderloin Medallions
- Start by seasoning the pork medallions with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the pork medallions and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F).
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey soy sauce mixture over the pork. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the medallions.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the glazed pork medallions with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and fresh herbs on top.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the pork is not overcrowded in the skillet to achieve a good sear.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; pork should reach 145°F.
- For extra flavor, marinate the pork in the glaze for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it.
Easy Variations
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- Substitute the honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar to the glaze for added acidity.
- Incorporate vegetables such as bell peppers or snap peas into the skillet for a complete meal.
