夏におすすめの肉メニューをご紹介! 高齢のご家族も一緒に楽しめるように今回は豚ヒレ肉を使ってサラダ仕立てにしました。
材料 (3人分)
豚ヒレ肉 400g
玉ねぎ…1/4個(みじん切り)
きゅうり…1本(5mm角)
みょうが…2個(みじん切り)
トマト…1個(1cm角)
*マリネ液
酢…大さじ2
しょうゆ…大さじ1
オリーブオイル…大さじ1
はちみつ…小さじ1
ごま油…小さじ1
おろししょうが…小さじ1
作り方
1 野菜をカット
玉ねぎは5〜10分水にさらし、水気をしっかり絞る。 きゅうり、みょうが、トマトも切り、ボウルで合わせる。
2 マリネ液を作る
マリネ液の材料を全て混ぜて、野菜が入ったボウルに加え、冷蔵庫で冷やす。

3 豚ヒレ肉を焼く
フライパンを中火~中強火で熱し、油をひいて豚ヒレ肉を焼く。
その後、アルミホイルで包まず軽くかぶせて5~7分休ませると、余熱で中心まで火が通り、肉汁も落ち着く。

4 仕上げ
豚ヒレ肉を食べやすいサイズにカットして、野菜の入ったマリネ液に加えて、よく和えたら完成。
片面:3~4分
裏面:3~4分
側面(厚みがある場合):30秒~1分ずつ
火が通った目安
中心が薄いピンク色~白色で、生っぽい赤色が残っていない。 豚肉はよく火を通してね
豚ヒレ肉はやわらかくて脂が少なくて食べやすいから第一候補としておすすめだけど、そのほかの部位だったらこちらがおすすめ

Looking for a light and satisfying meat dish for summer? This refreshing pork salad is made with pork tenderloin, making it tender, lean, and easy to enjoy—even for older family members.
Ingredients (Serves 3)
- 400 g pork tenderloin
- 1/4 onion, finely diced
- 1 cucumber, cut into 5 mm cubes
- 2 myoga (Japanese ginger), finely chopped
- 1 tomato, seeds removed and cut into 1 cm cubes
Marinade
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Instructions
1. Prepare the vegetables
Soak the diced onion in cold water for 5–10 minutes to mellow its sharpness, then drain well and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Combine the onion, cucumber, myoga, and tomato in a large bowl.
2. Make the marinade
Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. Pour it over the vegetables, toss to combine, and chill in the refrigerator while you cook the pork.
3. Cook the pork
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook the pork tenderloin until nicely browned on both sides.
4. Finish the salad
Slice the cooked pork into bite-sized pieces and add it to the chilled vegetables and marinade. Toss everything together well, and it’s ready to serve.
Cooking Time for Pork Tenderloin (2–2.5 cm / ¾–1 inch thick)
- First side: 3–4 minutes
- Second side: 3–4 minutes
- Thick edges (if needed): 30 seconds to 1 minute per side
After cooking, don’t wrap the pork tightly in foil. Instead, loosely cover it with foil and let it rest for 5–7 minutes. This allows the residual heat to finish cooking the center while keeping the meat juicy.
How to tell when it’s done
The center should be pale pink to white, with no raw-looking red meat remaining.
Other Cuts You Can Use
Pork tenderloin is still my top recommendation because it’s lean, tender, and easy to eat, especially for seniors. But if you’d like to try another cut, these are also great options:
Pork Shoulder Loin
- Slightly more marbling, so it’s extra juicy
- Stays tender even after cooling, making it great for salads
Pork Loin
- A thicker cut that’s more filling
- Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become a bit dry and tough
Enjoy! I hope this refreshing pork salad becomes one of your favorite summer recipes.
