Big-batch freezer pork tenderloin strips recipe for easy meals

Ingredients for Big-batch freezer pork tenderloin strips

• 1350 g pork tenderloins (about 4)

• 20 ml kosher salt

• 10 ml freshly ground black pepper

• 10 ml ground coriander

• 10 ml ground cumin

• 10 ml light brown sugar

• extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking

How to make Big-batch freezer pork tenderloin strips

1. Place the pork in a glass or metal baking dish, ensuring that the tenderloins do not touch. Freeze until firm to the touch, about 30–60 minutes, to make slicing easier.

2. Mix the salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and brown sugar in a small bowl.

3. Transfer the chilled pork to a cutting board. If any tenderloins are particularly wide, cut them in half lengthwise. Thinly slice all tenderloins crosswise into 3 mm strips and transfer to a large bowl.

4. Add the spice mixture to the bowl and toss until the pork is well coated.

5. Divide the pork among 6 resealable freezer bags, pressing it into an even flat layer in each bag. Remove as much air as possible before sealing the bags. Freeze flat for up to 3 months.

6. When ready to cook, defrost one bag for every 2–3 servings. Place the bag in a bowl of warm water and let it sit until you can easily separate the pieces of pork while still cold to the touch, about 10 minutes.

7. Heat a swirl of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, separating the pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir often until browned and just cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.

8. If making soup, add the frozen pork directly to boiling broth and simmer until cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
