Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons Sriracha hot chili sauce
4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 1/2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 head Boston, Bibb, or butter lettuce, leaves separated, washed, and patted dry

Steps:

  • Wrap the pork tenderloin in several sheets of plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 40 minutes. (This is to make it easier to thinly slice, so make sure it doesn't freeze completely.)
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil, green onion, garlic, and ginger. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.
  • Take the pork out of the freezer and unwrap on a clean cutting board. Slice the pork into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, 1/4-inch wide, and 2 1/2 inches long. Place the pork strips in the soy marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the Sriracha hot chili sauce, the honey, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • When the pork has marinated, take the bowl out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork from the marinade and carefully place in the skillet. (Be careful that the drippings don't splatter out of the pan.) Cook the pork, stirring constantly with tongs or a wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes, until the pork is cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame seeds.
  • To serve, spoon several tablespoons of rice into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style. Top with a few pork strips and drizzle with a few drops of the chili mixture. Roll up and eat!

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Cut of Pork: Opt for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • Marinating the Pork: Marinating the tenderloin in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
  • Searing the Pork: Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Cooking the Pork: Cook the tenderloin in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Resting the Pork: Allow the tenderloin to rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
  • Using a Meat Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the pork, ensuring that it reaches the desired doneness without overcooking.
  • Experiment with Different Sauces: Try different sauces, such as teriyaki, hoisin, or a simple glaze made from honey and soy sauce, to add additional flavor to the tenderloin.
  • Garnish: Garnish the sliced tenderloin with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or scallions, for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Korean pork tenderloin is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger meal. The combination of the tenderloin's natural flavor with the savory and slightly sweet marinade creates a dish that is both satisfying and flavorful. Whether you choose to serve it with rice, noodles, or vegetables, Korean pork tenderloin is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
