Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp red chili paste (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil (toasted, optional for flavor)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 lime, cut into wedges for serving
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin thinly into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, red chili paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil (if using), sea salt, and black pepper to create the sauce. Stir well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, yellow onion, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables, tossing everything to ensure the ingredients are well-coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the stir-fry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
Enjoy as-is or pair with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete Whole30-compliant meal.
