Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
  • Dash crushed red pepper
  • 2 teaspoons rice flour sub arrowroot or tapioca for paleo, sub whole wheat if no other dietary restrictions

Instructions

  • Mix together honey, coconut aminos, tomato paste and 1 tsp of coconut oil and whisk well. *If using an 8 quart instant pot, add 1/3 cup of water to this mixture.
  • Set Instant Pot to saute. When it's displays the word hot, add 1 tsp of coconut oil to the bottom of the pan. Saute pork tenderloin on all sides until it gets to a nice golden brown, then sprinkle thoroughly with salt.
  • Add an additional tsp of coconut oil to the pan along with garlic and ginger and cook for a minute or until fragrant. Turn Instant Pot off and stir in sauce.
  • Place and lock lid on the IP, and set to manual/high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • When cook time is up, natural pressure release for 6 minutes, then switch to quick release.
  • Remove pork from Instant Pot and let it rest for at least 3-5 minutes while you thicken the sauce. Switch pot to saute and remove 1/2 cup of the sauce from the pot and add flour to thicken. Pour the slurry back into the Instant Pot. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens, usually 1-2 minutes. Add crushed red pepper, if desired.
  • Slice pork and serve over brown rice ramen, brown rice, noodles, or noodles. Add veggies and top with sauce.
