Grilled Teriyaki Pork Filet with Charred Asparagus & Ginger-Lime Cucumber-Radish Salad

Bold, fast, and very WA-early-spring: teriyaki pork on a ripping-hot grill pan (or grill) with charred asparagus and a quick cucumber-radish crunch salad to keep it snappy.

Ingredients

  • Kroger® Teriyaki Seasoned Pork Filet 1.7 lb package (use ~1 lb for 2 servings; cook extra for lunches) $6.00 (sale from $7.00)
  • Green Asparagus ~1 lb, woody ends trimmed $3.99/lb
  • Cucumber 1 cucumber, thin-sliced $0.79 each
  • Green Top Red Radishes 1 bunch, thin-sliced $1.49
  • Fresh Organic Limes - Each (or lemon) 1 lime (about 1–2 Tbsp juice) $1.29 each
  • Organic Ginger Root About 1-inch knob, grated $3.77/lb

Instructions

  1. Prep: If using the Kroger® Teriyaki Seasoned Pork Filet ($6.00 sale, 1.7 lb), portion ~1 lb for dinner (reserve the rest). Pat dry lightly if very wet; it helps browning.
  2. Prep: Trim woody ends from ~1 lb asparagus ($3.99/lb). Thin-slice 1 cucumber ($0.79). Thin-slice 1 bunch radishes ($1.49). Grate about a 1-inch knob ginger from organic ginger root ($3.77/lb). Juice 1 lime (about 1–2 Tbsp) ($1.29).
  3. Grill (pork): Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill ~1 lb teriyaki pork filet 4–5 minutes per side (time varies by thickness) until nicely charred and 145°F internal. Rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
  4. Grill (asparagus): While pork rests, toss asparagus with 2 tsp oil and a pinch of salt. Grill 3–5 minutes total, turning, until crisp-tender with char marks.
  5. Stove/No-cook (salad): In a bowl, toss sliced cucumber ($0.79) + radishes ($1.49) with grated ginger ($3.77/lb), lime juice (1–2 Tbsp) ($1.29), 1 tsp sugar or honey (pantry, optional), and a pinch of salt. Let stand 5 minutes to lightly pickle.
  6. Serve: Plate sliced teriyaki pork with charred asparagus. Add the cucumber-radish salad on the side and spoon a little of its tangy juice over the pork if you like.

Cook time: 45 minutes

Estimated cost: $12–18

Health notes: Estimated per serving: ~700–900 calories depending on pork portion and added sugar in the teriyaki. Good protein and vitamin-rich asparagus; cucumber adds hydration and crunch. For less sodium/sugar, thin teriyaki with a splash of water and add extra lemon/lime.

Drink pairing: Teriyaki’s sweet-salty glaze loves bright, aromatic whites with acidity, or a chillable light red that can handle a little char. Great matches: Riesling, Pinot Noir.
