Instructions
Whisk soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, cane sugar, lime juice, lime zest, green onion, garlic, ground ginger, and chile-garlic sauce together in a large glass or ceramic bowl; add the sliced pork and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Remove pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard marinade.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork slices in oil until no longer pink in the center, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese
Pork Tenderloin works really well with Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The Flechas De Los Andes Gran Malbec (OU Kosher) with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

Intense ruby colored. Bright, with complex aromas of blackberry, minerals and violets. Dense and concentrated, this wine has a solid acidity and tannins marking the flavors of berries, violets and bitter chocolate. They also maintain the sweetness of the wine. The finish is with sweet tannins and pleasant violet. This is a well-balanced wine, rich in personality.
