Grilled Pork Teriyaki
Description
This recipe calls for pork tenderloin cut into medallions, pounded to about half an inch thick to ensure quick and even cooking. The pork is marinated for several hours in thick teriyaki sauce alongside sliced onions, infusing the meat with a balanced combination of sweet, salty, and umami flavors typical of teriyaki glaze. The marinade tenderizes the pork while adding moisture.
Grilling over high heat sears the pork quickly, resulting in a browned exterior with a tender, juicy interior. Optional grilled onions add a softened, slightly sweet contrast. Once cooked, sprinkling the pork with sesame seeds and fresh green onions introduces a nutty crunch and fresh herbal note, enhancing both texture and presentation.
These pork medallions can be served on toasted rolls with green onions as suggested, making a hearty sandwich or main dish. The combination provides a flavorful meal with contrasting textures and the familiar, well-loved teriyaki flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin about 2 medium tenderloins
- 2 cups teriyaki sauce thick
- 2 large onion sliced
- 2 green onions sliced, optional
- sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Cut each pork tenderloin into 4-5 pieces and pound the pork pieces to ½-inch thick.
- Marinate pork medallions in teriyaki sauce and onion slices for 4-6 hours
- Preheat grill to high. Grill the Pork Medallions on high 3-4 minutes per side
- If desired, place onions on a grill tray and grill for 5 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. (Keep a close eye on the onions so they don't burn)
- Sprinkle pork with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
- Marinate the pork for 4-6 hours to ensure the flavor penetrates and the meat becomes tender.
- Serve the grilled pork medallions on toasted rolls with chopped green onions for a complete dish.
