Step 1
Slice the 1 lb pork tenderloin into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Add the pork in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the sliced red onion, diced pineapple, roasted peanuts, and trimmed green beans. Add the crispy pork.
Step 4
Whisk together the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil, juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Pour over the salad and toss well.
Step 5
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
