Ingredients

  • 2 pieces pork cutlets
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pound the 2 pork cutlets to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sugar, and 2 minced garlic cloves to make the teriyaki sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the cutlets and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Add 2 tbsp milk and 2 rosemary sprigs. Simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the pork, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn the cutlets to coat in the glaze. Cook for another minute until the sauce is glossy and the pork is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat. Let rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve with extra sauce from the pan.
