Asian Sticky Lime Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Bok Choy

Share

Asian Sticky Lime Pork

Well, once again I had to quick snap some pictures before the last of this was devoured. The kids loved it, the hubby loved it, I loved it… the list goes on.

Linus kept going back for more, and more and more and then more. He couldn’t stop eating it – I have never seen a 7 year old boy eat so much pork.

It has a wonderful combination of lime, garlic and spicy flavor to it. Not a lot of spice but just a tiny bit to add another dimension to it. It was so little spice that the kids didn’t even notice 😀

We even all liked the bok choy which I wasn’t sure about but decided to go for anyway. It wasn’t LOVED, but it was tolerated and even liked by some.

Heat a cast iron skillet (or any other pan that can go from the stove to the oven) to medium high. Remove the pork loin from the bag and place in the skillet, brown all sides. Once browned, add the marinade from the bag to the skillet and bring to a boil. Then move the whole skillet to the oven and roast the pork loin about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160º. 5. Once it reaches the correct temperature, remove from the oven and set aside. 6. To prepare the bok choy, heat a wok or large skillet over medium high heat with the olive oil and garlic and saute the garlic until it is fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Then add the bok choy and saute until just starting to wilt, then add the soy sauce and white wine and cook a couple minutes just to cook out the alcohol and cook down the bok choy a little more. Serve both with brown rice and you have a tasty and healthy dinner!
