Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup chopped scallions or to taste
Instructions
- Trim any fat and silver skin off the pork tenderloin and then cut into 3/4" thick rounds. Season with salt & pepper.
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together (honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, cornstarch).
- Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pork (you may need to do this in batches so as not to crowd the pan) and cook for about 3 minutes/side until golden.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and then pour the sauce into the skillet and cook for another 1-3 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce thickens up too much, stir in a splash of water.
- Take the pan off the burner, then sprinkle chopped scallions over top prior to serving.
Notes
- This sauce is quite sweet. If you prefer it to be a bit less sweet, use 3 tablespoons of honey and/or squeeze some lemon juice over top when serving.
- Pork is safe to eat at 145F and a little pink inside.
