Grilled Sweet Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin & Cilantro Lime Coleslaw

With school being back in session, our lazy summer schedule is long gone. Over the last couple of months we have been working really hard to eat at home more because we had been eating out so often. We have started meal planning every weekend which gives us the motivation to stick to eating and preparing all our meals at home. Not only is this saving us money, but we are able to make sure the whole family is enjoying a wholesome dinner. Love that.

As we continue to build our menu it is always nice to find new family favorites to add to our rotation, but I have two stipulations to adding a meal to our rotation – easy to prepare and kid approved! Like I said, our school schedule is back which means dinner often feels rushed between dance, swimming and Taekwondo, not to mention taking baths and doing homework. So when I can find a wholesome meal that I can prepare and have on the table in 30 minutes or less, I am hooked.

One way that I can ensure that our meals are prepared and ready to eat in less than 30 minutes is by stopping by Safeway and picking up Smithfield® Marinated
Fresh Pork. Smithfield knows the struggle that us busy families have, which is why we usually have at least one of these pork meals a week on our meal plan.

Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork comes in a number of flavors and cuts. Our favorite is the Sweet Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin – so good and so flavorful. Other flavors and cuts we have enjoyed are the Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Pork
Tenderloin, Applewood Smoked Bacon Pork Loin Filet, and Steakhouse Mushroom
Pork Loin Filet. All of these varieties are great 30 minutes or less meal ideas!

To accompany our favorite Sweet Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin, I decided to try a fresh and healthy side dish that turned out to be a hit with both kids. Just like our main dish, we need our side dishes to be super easy and kid friendly and this yummy Cilantro Lime Coleslaw was both of those.

1/2 cup chopped green onion

2 tbsp olive oil

fresh lime juice from 2 limes

2 tsp sugar

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Chop green onions and slice limes in half.

2. In a medium mixing bowl combine coleslaw mix, green onions and cilantro. Toss together.

3. In a small mixing bowl add lime juice, olive oil, sugar, and salt and pepper. Whisk together well.

4. Pour dressing over coleslaw mixture, stir well and cover bowl with plastic wrap.

5. Place in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

We are year round grillers, yes even in the Colorado snow, which is why I love these pork cuts. They can all be either grilled, roasted or sautéed which gives us some great options when our meal plan says Smithfield Pork! While preparing our Coleslaw, I had Jeremy put the tenderloin on the grill and by the time the pork was cooked through and ready our coleslaw was nice and chilled and ready. Easy!

Once the pork is grilled to perfection I simply slice it up and dinner is served. The kids always ask for seconds with Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork, and I cannot blame them. The flavors are amazing. Just because you need dinner to be made quickly on busy evenings doesn’t mean you and your family should sacrifice flavor and options. Smithfield has you covered. Real flavor, real fast!

Perfect for any night of the week and very easy to spot all of the great flavor options at your local Safeway store in the fresh meat department.
