Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Marinated Pork tenderloin is a simple dish that I prepare in advance and put in the fridge to marinade away. A simple marinade of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and toasted sesame oil adds to the flavour and creates the dish. I use the marinade as a sauce for this dish, nothing goes to waste. This is normally served as a main dish but can be used in sandwiches and salads as well.

Instructions

• Add the marinade ingredients into a small mixing bowl (garlic, sugar, ginger, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil). Stir well to combine.

• Cover with a lid or plastic wrap/cling film and place in the fridge for ideally a few hours.
• Place a frying pan or skillet over a medium high heat and add the vegetable oil. If you are cooking the pork in batches, then divide the oil accordingly.
• Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and carefully slice it into medallions.
• When the oil is hot transfer the sliced tenderloin to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes flipping over and cooking the second side for 1 – 1 ½ minutes.
