Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup minced lemongrass, from 2 stalks (trim all but bottom 3-4 inches, remove tough outer sheath, then cut finely)
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb asparagus, cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-to 3/8-inch wedges
2 -3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil

Steps:

  • Freeze the tenderloin until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick medallions. Slice each medaillon into 1/3-inch-wide strips.
  • Combine the pork, 1 tsp fish sauce, and the soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 tbsp fish sauce, the chicken broth, lime juice, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a measuring cup.
  • Combine garlic, lemon grass, red pepper flakes and 1 tbsp of the oil.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tsps oil in a nonstick 12-inch skillet or in a wok over high heat until smoking; add half of the pork to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the clumps, until well browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl. Repeat with an additional 1 1/2 tsps oil and the remaining pork.
  • Add 1 tbsp oil to the now-empty skillet or wok; add the asparagus and cook, stirring every 30 seconds, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the water, cover the pan, and lower the heat to medium. Steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes; transfer the asparagus to the bowl with the pork.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 tsps oil to the skillet or wok; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown and soften, about two minutes.
  • Clear the center of the skillet; add the garlic and lemon grass mixture to the clearing and cook, mashing the mixture with a spoon, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then stir the mixture into the onion. Return the pork and asparagus to the skillet and toss to combine. Whisk the sauce to recombine, then add to the skillet/wok; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and evenly distributed, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the thai basil. Serve immediately.

Herbed Pork Paillards with Sundried Tomato Butter and Asparagus image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons drained and finely chopped oil-packed sundried tomatoes
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Pinch Cajun spice
Pinch salt
1 (2-pound) boneless pork loin
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
1 bunch asparagus
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the sundried tomatoes, sage, parsley, Cajun spice, and salt. Whisk together until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a cigar shape about 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the pork: Slice the loin into 3/4-inch thick slices, and then one by one, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until each slice is flat and even (about a 1/4-inch thick).
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper, and then dredge the pork in the seasoned flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Once the oil has heated, add the floured pork to the pan and allow to cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat, flip, add some thyme and parsley, and repeat the process on the second side until finished cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the pork is cooked.
  • For the asparagus: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Trim the woody bottoms of the asparagus and peel the stalks. Blanch in the boiling water until bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the water and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place asparagus in the center of a serving plate, arrange the pieces of cooked pork on top, and top with a 1/4-inch disk of sundried tomato butter. Garnish with parsley. Store the remaining butter wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.

STIR-FRIED PORK WITH ASPARAGUS



Stir-Fried Pork with Asparagus image

If you like a really strong garlic flavor, reserve half of the garlic and stir it in at the end of the cooking, along with the optional sesame oil. Serve with rice. Other cuts of meat you can use here: beef, preferably sirloin; lamb, preferably from the shoulder or leg; boneless chicken; shrimp (which will cook more quickly).

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 or 4 small dried red chiles, optional
1 pound boneless pork, preferably shoulder or tenderloin, thinly sliced or cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups trimmed pencil-thin asparagus, cut into 1-inch-long pieces
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, optional

Steps:

  • Have all the ingredients ready, including cooked white rice if you're planning to serve it. Preheat a large skillet over high heat for about 2 minutes. Immediately add half the peanut oil, the chiles if you're using them, and the pork, spreading it in one even layer. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the pork browns, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a bowl (discard the chiles) and lower the heat slightly.
  • Add the remaining oil and the asparagus to the skillet. Again, cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus turns bright green and begins to become tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion and cook, stirring once or twice, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock and soy sauce, stir, and cook for 15 seconds. Add the sesame oil if you like and serve.
