Gluten Free Char Sui Pork

A flavorful Asian marinade transforms pork tenderloins into the infamous gluten free char sui pork!

This is one of those meals we could make over and over in our house….everyone loves it!

Pork tenderloins are so tender and easy to cook, I love when I can find responsibly raised ones available (not as often as I would like!).  

One of our favorite ways to prepare it is this stove top pork tenderloin.  Another way we love is this pork tenderloins with balsamic and capers!

This super tender sliced pork is highlighted by a delicious and totally gluten free Asian marinade.

Serving suggestions for gluten free char sui pork:

My husband and I like to serve it with a sauce that we first tasted at a local Hawaiian joint: Sriracha and mayonnaise.  Sounds gross, but it really is good!  Sweet red chili sauce is also good.

I have also served this with scallion oil.

  • tasty with a quick pickled cucumber salad
  • any favorite rice
  • thinly sliced in my Vietnamese salad rolls
  • Sautéed broccoli a standby!

Meal prep idea

I have also marinated and frozen this for future use, very easy to make a double batch for another meal!  

It’s super easy to make double the marinade, place the pork tenderloin in the fridge for at least 24 hours, then freeze for future use!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin sliced in 4 long and thin slices. This is especially important if you are only marinating briefly (smaller pieces of meat mean more flavor). The long and thin slices are easy to throw on the grill, just chop afterwards!
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons palm sugar or honey
  • 3 tablespoons Gluten Free Hoisin Sauce SUB: so I often sub 1 tablespoon EACH sunflower seed butter, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, and 2 cloves minced garlic,
  • 4 tablespoons coconut aminos gluten free soy sauce, or gluten free tamari
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together
  • Stir in the cubed or sliced pork and marinate for 4-24 hours.
  • To cook: Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cook the pork for apx 15 minutes (it depends on how large your chunks of meat are!). An internal temp of 145-160 degrees is done!
  • Change the oven to broil and lightly crisp the meat.
  • Alternately: slice the tenderloins into thirds or fourth, lengthwise, and grill the long pieces on a medium preheated BBQ until an internal temperature reaches 145-160 degrees. Let meat rest about 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
  • Serve atop a bed of rice with the scallion oil or Sriracha mayo, or any condiment of your choice!

    […] A fun way to jazz up your usual rice, goes really well with Asian-inspired dishes, and includes the evening’s veg to boot!  Goes well with Char Sui Pork! […]
