Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 0.25 cup Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1.5 teaspoons Arrowroot powder
• 1.5 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin completely dry with a paper towel, then season it evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, pineapple juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce base. Stir well and set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once seared, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over the pork loin in the skillet.

Step 6

Cover the skillet with foil or an oven-safe lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the sauce every 15 minutes for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork loin to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

While the pork rests, place the skillet with the teriyaki sauce back on the stovetop over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry, then slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce.

Step 9

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring frequently.

Step 10

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or rice.
