1 pound pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Directions
- Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper according to taste. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about one minute.
- In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Add the mixture to the skillet and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Combine cornstarch and water in another small bowl to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until thickened to a sticky glaze consistency.
- Return the cooked pork to the skillet, tossing to coat thoroughly in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve the sticky honey garlic pork hot with steamed rice or noodles.
