3 oranges
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from 4 limes) plus wedges for serving
4 boneless pork loin chops (1 pound total)
Coarse salt and pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced

Sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Finely grate zest from one orange into a small bowl, then squeeze 1 cup juice from oranges. Stir in lime juice. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for this recipe. It's a flavorful and affordable cut that becomes tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and spices helps to infuse it with flavor and makes it more tender.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: This recipe calls for a combination of oranges, lemons, and limes. Feel free to use other citrus fruits, such as grapefruits or tangerines, to add a different flavor profile.
  • Don't overcrowd the steamer: Make sure to leave enough space between the pork slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Steam the pork until it's cooked through: The pork is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Fragrant Citrus Steamed Pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the citrus marinade gives it a bright and flavorful taste. Serve it with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
