Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce, reduced sodium
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Add the pork strips to this marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the pork is marinating, prepare your vegetables: thinly slice red bell pepper, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and slice the zucchini.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the marinated pork, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet. Stir in the red bell pepper, broccoli, and zucchini. Stir fry the vegetables until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the chopped scallions and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir everything to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Season with black pepper to taste and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve the stir fry hot directly from the skillet.
