Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork tenderloin
• 60 ml Gluten-free soy sauce
• 30 grams Brown sugar
• 15 ml Sesame oil
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 3 units Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 unit Pear, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chopped green onions.

Step 3

Add the grated pear, red pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, and black pepper to the marinade, and mix everything well until the sugar completely dissolves.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the pork strips, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. If needed, lightly oil the pan with a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Once the pan is hot, add the marinated pork slices in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. You may need to cook the pork in batches for even cooking.

Step 7

Cook the pork for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the meat is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or lettuce leaves for a light wrap option.
