Healthy Pork Stir Fry
This veggie-packed pork stir fry with broccoli slaw is ready in just 25 minutes for a fast, healthy, delicious dinner!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lb. thin pork cutlets, cut into ½ inch strips
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 8 oz. package mushrooms, sliced (white button or cremini work well)
- 1 12 oz. bag of broccoli slaw
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce, or tamari, if gluten-free
- ½ - 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce, optional; adjust for heat
- For serving: Perfectly cooked brown rice
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and peppers. Saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally,
- Add the mushrooms and broccoli slaw and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli slaw is wilted and tender.
- Remove the veggies to a bowl and add the pork strips to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute the pork for 2-3 minutes, flipping to cook both sides.
- Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 more seconds.
- Return the veggies to the pan and stir to get all of the ingredients mixed together.
- Reduce heat to medium low, then add soy sauce and chili sauce, if using. Stir to combine everything with the sauce and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve hot over rice, if desired.
Notes
You can leave out the chili sauce if you prefer less heat, but it adds a really good depth of flavor. (You can also add it at the table if you want to make the stir fry not spicy for kids.)
You can serve as is for a low-carb meal or add some steamed rice or long, thin noodles for a heartier meal.
I like the leftovers warmed up and rolled into a wrap for an easy lunch.
