Fiery Pork Lettuce Wraps
Healthy
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. gochujang
1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1/2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1 1-pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
Gem or baby romaine lettuce leaves
Cooked rice; sliced radishes, cucumber, scallions and chiles; and fresh cilantro and mint leaves, for serving
Directions
Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and sesame oil.
Heat oil in large oven-safe skillet on medium-high. Season pork with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes.
Set aside half of gochujang mixture. Brush pork with remaining gochujang mixture and roast until internal temp reaches 145°F, 12 to 15 minutes.
Transfer pork to cutting board. Using clean pastry brush, brush with remaining gochujang mixture and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with lettuce, rice, radishes, cucumber, scallions, chiles, cilantro, and mint.
