Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 count garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, and sugar until the cornstarch is dissolved. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the pork slices to the skillet in a single layer. Season with black pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. You can add a splash of water to the skillet to help with steaming if needed.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and stir to combine with the broccoli.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the pork with broccoli hot, over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
