Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin (boneless)
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce (low-sodium or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
• 3 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for searing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sugar-free sweetener, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork loin in a sealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the pork is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork loin from the marinade and set the marinade aside. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.

Step 5

In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 7

While the pork is cooking, prepare the sauce. Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking continuously to thicken the sauce. Remove from heat once thickened.

Step 8

When the pork loin is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Slice the pork loin and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low-carb teriyaki pork loin!
