Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin Lettuce Wraps image

I make this on one night, and "Tacos Al Pastor" on the second night because the two recipes share a lot of ingredients, but taste nothing alike. Tacos Al Pastor also requires overnight marinating, so this dish can be made the day the ingredients are purchase, while Tacos Al Pastor marinates for the second night. This recipe is also super healthy.

SPICY PORK LETTUCE WRAPS



Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps image

These lettuce cups filled with spicy ground pork take inspiration from Larb. Found in several Southeast Asian countries, Larb usually features seasoned ground meat served with sticky rice or lettuce cups, topped with fresh vegetables and herbs. Toasted rice powder is typically mixed into the seasoning for some crunch and to help thicken the dressing. Katie opts for ground peanuts instead to achieve a similar texture and nutty flavor. These can also be made with ground chicken, duck, turkey, or crumbled tofu in place of the ground pork. Fresh and flavorful, these lettuce cups are super easy to make at home any night of the week.

SPICY PORK LOIN AND LETTUCE WRAPS



Spicy Pork Loin and Lettuce Wraps image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pieces (about 2 pounds) pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, skin on
6 scallions, minced, green and white parts both
36 to 40 medium to large Bibb lettuce leaves
1 small Fresno chili, thinly sliced
12 stems cilantro (about 1/2 cup leaves), stemmed

Steps:

  • Cook the pork: Season the pork all over with the salt, then sift the paprika through a fine mesh sieve over the pork. Heat a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the pork. Add the oil and when it begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to place the pork into the hot oil. Cook over high heat, turning the pork often, browning on all sides, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the tenderloin, about 15 minutes total (if you like a little more "done", cook a few minutes longer on each side). Remove the pork and allow it to "rest" on a flat surface. If you like a little more "done", cook a few minutes longer on each side.
  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, and ginger. Add the scallions. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
  • Assemble the wraps: On a large serving platter, arrange "cups" of lettuce leaves, 2 to 3 layers of lettuce per cup. Form the cups with one leaf inside another with the lettuce spines stacked on top of the other.
  • Slice the pork into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Top each lettuce cup with 3 or 4 slices of pork. Season the pork with a little more salt, then top with the chiles. Drizzle the meat with some of the sauce. Top with the cilantro leaves. Top with more sauce if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in size and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the pork tenderloin in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the meat and keep the inside juicy.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with a variety of dipping sauces: This will allow your guests to choose their own favorite flavor combination.
