Teriyaki
Pork Salad
4
boneless pork top loin chops,
cut 3/4 inch thick
6
cups packaged torn mixed salad
greens
3/4
cup sliced red or purple radish
1/4
cup thinly sliced green onion
Marinade
1/3
cup of vinegar
1/3
cup of orange juice
2
tbsp light teriyaki sauce
1
tbsp peanut oil or salad oil
1
tsp sesame seed, toasted
1
tsp bottled minced garlic
Trim fat from chops. Place chops
in a self-sealing plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade,
whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, teriyaki sauce, oil, sesame
seed and garlic. Reserve half of mixture for dressing. Pour the
remaining mixture over the chops. Close bag and marinate in
refrigerator at least 20 minutes or up to 8 hours, turning bag
occasionally. Drain chops, reserving marinade. 2. For use with
charcoal, place the chops on the grid directly over medium coals.
Grill uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes or till chops are slightly pink in
center and juices run clear, turning and brushing once with marinade
halfway through grilling. Discard any remaining marinade. 3. For
gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place the chops on
the grids; cover and grill as above. 4. Divide greens, radish and
green onion among four bowls or plates. Slice pork diagonally and
arrange on top of greens. Drizzle with dressing. The sugar in the
marinade caramelizes as it is grilled, giving the pork a
beautiful gloss and mellow flavor. Peppery radishes give this salad its
zing. Makes 4 serving.
