Instructions
PREPARE PORK: Trim any silver skin from the pork using a small, sharp knife. Slice the tenderloin into thick medallions (approx. 2.5cm / 1 in.), season well with salt and pepper, and coat lightly with flour.
500 g pork tenderloin, 2 tbsp plain or all-purpose flour, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
MAKE SALSA: Combine pineapple, chilli, coriander, mint, 2 tbsp lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Add mango if using. Let sit for 10 minutes.
SEAR PORK: Heat oil in a pan. Sear the pork for 3 minutes per side until golden.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
MAKE GLAZE: Reduce heat, then add the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Stir for 30–60 seconds until the glaze thickens and coats the pork, then remove from heat.
SERVE: Divide the rice between serving plates, top with pork and glaze, spoon over plenty of salsa, sprinkle with cashews, and serve with lime wedges.
