Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Stir Fry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided
- 3 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 pound boneless pork chops, sliced into 1/4″ strips (can also use pork tenderloin)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- White sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the stir fry sauce, cover and keep warm until ready.
- Add one tablespoon of the oil to a large, deep skillet or a wok over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions to the skillet, along with the salt and fresh black pepper to taste. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp. Add the chopped garlic, stir and cook 1 minute longer. Remove the vegetables from the skillet to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Dry the sliced pork with paper towels to remove any moisture. Season the pork with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch to a resealable bag and toss the pork lightly, tapping off the excess as you remove it from the bag.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, the add half of the pork strips. Don’t overcrowd the skillet or you won’t get a good sear on the pork. Cook the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side until the pork strips have a brown crust. Remove the pork from the skillet (you can add it to the bowl with the peppers and onions) and repeat with the remaining pork.
- Once all of the pork has been cooked, pour the peppers and onions back into the skillet. Pour in 1/2 cup of the stir fry sauce and toss together with the pork and vegetables. You can add more sauce to your liking. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
