Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 10 drops Liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch or arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener.

Step 3

Place the pork loin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki marinade over it. Reserve the other half in the refrigerator for later use.

Step 4

Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and marinate the pork loin in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Remove the pork loin from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Discard the used marinade.

Step 7

Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the reserved marinade every 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

While the pork is cooking, prepare the teriyaki glaze: Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch or arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved. Whisk this mixture into the simmering marinade to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Once the pork loin is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Drizzle the thickened teriyaki glaze over the sliced pork loin and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
