Homemade Pork Tocino Recipe

Combine pork tenderloin, salt, brown or coconut sugar, minced garlic, pineapple juice, ground star anise, and black pepper in a bowl. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.

Simmer pork and marinade in a pan with about water. When pan is almost dry and marinade is syrupy, stir frequently to allow meat to caramelize evenly. (You can add 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable or coconut oil since meat is lean.) Once meat has caramelized, remove from heat. Serve hot.
