Ingredients
Scale
Let’s keep it straightforward and pantry-friendly, just the way I like it. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
If you’re out of pork tenderloin, feel free to substitute with chicken breast or even tofu for a vegetarian twist. Remember, cooking is all about adapting to what you have on hand!
Instructions
Ready to start cooking? Follow these simple steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
- Cook the pork until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, allowing it to melt and bubble slightly.
- Add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the honey and soy sauce, mixing well to combine everything into a smooth sauce.
- Return the pork to the skillet, tossing to coat each piece in the honey garlic butter sauce.
- Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the pork is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
And there you have it—your kitchen will smell divine, and your family will be hovering around, eager to dig in!
