Chef's Note
Serve with rice.
This recipe also works very well for a Poké bowl.
You can also sear the pork fillets then finish cooking in the broiler oven for 10 minutes. Drizzle with sauce when serving.
Ingredients
For 4 to 6 servings
- 2 pork tenderloin about 340 g (3/4 lb) each
- 180 ml / 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 80 ml / 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2,5 cm / 1 inch fresh ginger sliced into thin rounds
- 2 garlic cloves cut halved lengthwise
- 1 orange, zested (Optional)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Method
- Trim the pork tenderloins.
- In a dish, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, oil, ginger, garlic and orange zest. Add pork tenderloins and coat in marinade mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1–8 hours.
- Remove pork tenderloins from marinade and transfer to a plate.
- Strain marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat until marinade thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Strain sauce again for a smooth consistency (Optional). Let cool.
- Meanwhile, in an oiled ridged skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork tenderloins for 2 minutes on all four sides.
- Cover and continue cooking over low heat, turning the meat and brushing with the maple sauce a few times, until a thermometer inserted in the center of the meat reads 60°C (140°F) about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Place on a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut into 1-cm (½-in.) thick slices. Drizzle with remaining sauce and garnish with green onions.
