Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Pork loin
  • 0.5 cups Soy sauce
  • 0.25 cups Brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 0.25 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 stalks Green onions
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and set it aside for later use.

Step 3

Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork loin from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

Grill the pork loin for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

While the pork is grilling, prepare the teriyaki glaze by adding the reserved 1/4 cup of marinade to a small saucepan. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry, then stir it into the marinade.

Step 8

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Once the pork loin is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Drizzle the teriyaki glaze over the sliced pork loin, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
