Korean Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Asian Slaw

I love recipes like this, they remind me of Michael Symon’s 5 in 5 recipes. Fast, simple, and full of flavor. If you have everything organized you can have these Korean Pork Medallions on the table in no time, maybe not five minutes but fast, probably 30 min. including marinating time!!!

Ken was the chef behind this meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fine Cooking is where this recipe originated from, they have a bevy of fantastic recipes,  scrumptious and perfect.

I like to remove something from a FULL plate of dinner, sometimes it is the meat, sometimes, like in this case, the carb.

I love the delicious pork tenderloin with all of it’s Asian flavors over the crunch of a fresh Asian slaw. All the ingredients are there, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, Sriacha, sugar, vinegar!!!

Ingredients

 

• I large pork tenderloin or two small
• 1/3 cup light soy sauce gluten-free if needed
• 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 medium cloves garlic minced
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. jarred fresh ginger
• 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 2 tsp. Sriracha
• 1 lb. napa or regular cabbage thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots grated
• 2 green onions chopped
• 3-4 Tbsp. canola oil
• Kosher salt to taste

Dressing

• 1 Tbsp. canola oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 tsp. Sriracha

Instructions

 

• Clean the pork by trimming it of any excess fat and silver skin. Cut into 1/2 inch medallions on the diagonal.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar, 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, garlic, ginger, 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil, 2 tsp. Sriracha. Add 1/2 cup of the sauce to the pork medallions in a large bowl.
• Massage into the meat. Reserve the other half for a sauce. Let the pork stand for 25 min. or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
• While the pork is marinating, toss the cabbage with the carrot and half the green onions.
• In a small bowl whisk together 1 Tbsp. canola oil, 1 tsp. salt and 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil and 1 tsp. Sriracha.
• Toss the slaw with the dressing and serve on a large platter or keep in the bowl to serve on individual plates.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. canola oil in a large nonstick frypan over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot add the pork after taking it out of the marinade and shaking off excess.
• Cook the pork in 2 or 3 batches so as not to crowd the frying pan adding more oil as needed. Let the pork cook without moving until very brown about 2-3 min., flip the pork and cook for another 2-3 min. until the pork is cooked through. Check by slicing into a piece.
• Serve the pork on top of the slaw on a serving platter or individual plates drizzled with the reserved sauce and sprinkled with the reserved green onions.
