Orange Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin
I often forget to cook with pork but this recipe is so easy and had so much flavor that I won’t be forgetting it any time soon.
It’s a one-skillet recipe that’s ready in 20 minutes and is perfect for busy weeknights.My daughter loves teriyaki anything and this sauce is lightly flavored with orange juice and orange zest. Citrus fruits like orange or lemon add so much flavor and really jazz things up.
The citrus acids in the orange juice also help to tenderize the pork and keep it juicy and moist.
The soy sauce and sesame oil make you feel like you just recreated an awesome Asian dish at home.
