Pork Stir Fry

I really like this pork stir fry. I like to eat it because it’s so delicious. I also like to make it, because it’s a very easy recipe that makes life easy on busy weeknights.

Like all stir fry recipes, this pork stir fry comes together astonishingly quickly once you start cooking. Most of the work is in prepping the meat, veggies and sauce, but even the prep work is quite easy and quick.

Simply mix the sauce, slice the pork, and lightly pre-cook the broccoli. Then get to cooking! Dinner will be served in a mere 30 minutes.

I like to drizzle the pork stir fry with sesame oil, for flavor. Remember that sesame oil has a low smoke point and should never be cooked – it should be used as a condiment to add flavor to already cooked dishes.

You don’t really need to serve this pork stir fry with rice, unless you want to of course. You can just serve it as it is, or you could use cauliflower rice.

Pork Stir Fry

A tasty pork stir fry with broccoli, this is an easy low carb recipe.

Sauce:

3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon organic cornstarch

Stir fry:

2 cups broccoli florets, (fresh or frozen )
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1.5 lb. pork tenderloin, (cut into 2-inch strips or pieces)
1 medium red bell pepper, (sliced)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger

Garnish:

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, water and cornstarch. Set aside.
Place the broccoli florets in a large microwave safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with a microwave safe plate and cook on high until barely tender, about 2 minutes for fresh and 3 minutes for frozen. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and stir-fry until no longer raw, about 3 minutes.
Add the pepper slices, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 more minute.
Lower the heat to medium and add the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. If too much liquid evaporates, add a bit more water, 1-2 tablespoons.
Turn the heat off and stir in the broccoli. It will finish cooking in the pan’s residual heat.
Transfer the pork stir fry to a serving platter or bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve.
