Ingredients
- 1.25 pound pork tenderloin (trimmed of visible fat and sliced thin)
- 1 tablespoon tamari (reduced-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon gochugaru
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and finely grated)
- 3 clove garlic (minced and divided)
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (divided)
- 8 ounce cremini mushrooms (wiped clean and sliced)
- 8 ounce baby spinach (washed)
- 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the sliced pork tenderloin with the reduced-sodium tamari, gochugaru, grated ginger, and half of the minced garlic. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until browned and tender. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the marinated pork tenderloin in a single layer. Sear over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping once, until browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. Transfer pork to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil and the remaining minced garlic to the skillet over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and kosher salt, tossing gently for 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted.
- Divide the wilted spinach and sautéed mushrooms evenly among 3 plates. Top with the seared pork medallions, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve.
