Cook Eat Dish

Grilled Asian Pork Tenderloin with Ginger Sauce

Bill Harris・Leave a Comment

I’m a total carnivore and pork is one of my favorite meats. I particularly love pork with Asian flavors. Ginger and garlic pair so well with pork tenderloin. Ternderloin is almost foolproof if you don’t overcook it. I’ve been cooking and grilling meat for years and I’m pretty good at cooking to the ideal temperature for me, but I have learned that the best and most accurate way to cook meat is with a meat thermometer. If you don’t have one, do yourself a favor and invest in one. I find that 145-150 degrees for this dish is ideal.

I use Bragg Liquid Amino Acids in place of soy sauce in this recipe. I prefer the flavor of Bragg over tradition soy sauce, but they are very similar and soy sauce works just as well. Bragg is also a great addition to soups and salad dressings. You can typically find Bragg in health food stores, however, I find it at Publix Supermarket in Atlanta.

I’ve included this dish in the Healthful Dishes category. It’s a very substantial dish, but pork tenderloin is the leanest cut of pork and the dish contains very little added fat. Serve this dish with steamed brown rice and steamed and stir fried vegetables and it’s very body friendly.

The marinade for this dish serves two purposes: flavoring the meat and giving the sauce delicious ginger flavor. The finished dish is one of my favorites.
