Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the pork strips to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork onto the soaked skewers, discarding any excess marinade.

Step 6

Grill the pork skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the pork is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Step 7

While the pork is grilling, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together almond butter, coconut milk, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Serve the grilled pork satay garnished with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro, alongside the almond butter dipping sauce.

Step 9

Enjoy your delicious Whole30 Pork Satay!
