Pork Tenderloin And Broccoli With Asian Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic (optional)
1 pork tenderloin (cut in half lengthwise)
7 cups fresh large broccoli florets (you can use any amount of broccoli for this!)
2/3 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 -2 tablespoon peanut oil

Preparation

In a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, mix together soy sauce, honey, fresh minced ginger, red pepper flakes and chopped fresh garlic.
Add in the halved pork tenderloin and turn to coat.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 or more hours, turning occasionally to coat with marinade.
Meanwhile steam the broccoli until only crisp-tender; drain and set aside.
After the pork has marinated, heat about 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a skillet.
Add in the pork and reserve ALL marinade.
Cook the pork until deep brown, turning often (it should take about 10-12 minutes to cook pork).
Cut into about 1/2-inch thick slices.
Wipe the skillet clean.
In a small bowl combine orange juice, vinegar, cornstarch and all the reserved marinade from the pork.
Heat about 1 tablespoon peanut oil in the skillet.
Add in broccoli and saute on high heat until brown (about 1 minutes).
Add in the pork slices and orange juice mixture; stir until sauce boils, thickens slightly and coats the broccoli and pork (about 1 minute).
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a bowl and serve.
