Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger root
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot
- 3 stalks scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lime
Instructions
Thinly slice the pork tenderloin across the grain into strips approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the pork slices and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the carrot diagonally into thin rounds. Chop the scallions into 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated pork slices to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and carrot rounds to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet, and add the scallions. Stir to combine all ingredients, cooking for 1-2 more minutes until everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Squeeze lime juice over the stir-fry just before serving for a fresh, tangy flavor boost.
