Asian marinated pork loin with brown sugar & orange glazed carrots
You will need
1- 1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin (plain not seasoned)
1-2 stalks of chives
small piece of ginger root (or ground ginger in the jar)
1 tablespoon chopped or minced garlic
¼ cup teriyaki sauce
1 large freezer bag for marinating
Tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium or regular)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 tablespoons of honey
For carrot dish
2 large carrots (grated or finely chopped-shredded will work great too)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons orange juice
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 375
In a large freezer bag place pork loin inside
Add teriyaki, soy, vinegar, garlic, chives, honey, ground ginger, and orange juice
Let marinate for at least 3o minutes, the longer it sits the better (I marinated for 4 hours)
Remove pork from bag and place on foiled baking sheet coated with light cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes. (or as package recommends)
Reserve marinade for cooking to use as sauce and garnish. Bring leftover marinade to a low boil then turn down heat and simmer for 5 mintues, use for sauce over pork.
When fully cooked let stand for 10-15 for juices to redistribute then slice against the grain and serve
In a non stick pan with a light coat of cooking spray add carrots to pan and turn on medium heat
In a small dish mix together brown sugar and orange juice and cook for 10 minutes. Drain any excess juice from pan before serving.
Plate carrots and sliced pork against the grain and serve
