Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp minced lemongrass, 3 cloves minced garlic, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Stir to create marinade.
  2. Step 2: Slice 1 lb pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and toss with the marinade. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.

  4. Step 4: Arrange marinated pork medallions on the baking sheet among the vegetables in a single layer.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the oven for 20-22 minutes, flipping pork and stirring vegetables halfway through, until pork is cooked through (internal temp 145°F) and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 3 minutes before serving with the roasted vegetables.
