Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Pork Tenderloin Lean meat for best flavor and texture
4 cloves Garlic Minced
2 tbsp Olive Oil Extra virgin recommended
¼ cup Soy Sauce For umami flavor
1 tbsp Honey Balances savory with sweetness
1 tsp Smoked Paprika For warmth and smokiness
½ tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt Adjust to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme Fresh herbs preferred
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and fresh thyme. Stir well to create a fragrant marinade.
Place your pork tenderloin cubes into the bowl and ensure every piece is coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat, adding a splash of olive oil if using a skillet.
Remove the pork from the marinade and cook in the hot grill or skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the pork bites to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Garnish the pork bites with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Optional: Serve alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
