Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 jalapenos, diced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the pork tenderloin pieces and season them generously with salt and pepper. Sear the pork until it’s nicely browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and diced jalapenos for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken for 3-4 minutes.
5. Return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss it with the jalapeno glaze, ensuring that every piece is evenly coated.
6. Allow the pork to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
Adjust spice levels by removing seeds from jalapenos for a milder dish.
Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes for more flavor.
Sweet Jalapeno Pork can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
