Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Fresh ginger
• 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 2 Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, toss the pork strips with the cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrot, and cut the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions.

Step 5

In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the pork strips to the hot oil and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.

Step 7

In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, stirring quickly for about 15 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 9

While the vegetables are cooking, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir well to mix.

Step 10

Return the cooked pork to the wok. Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Step 11

Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 12

Top with the sliced green onions before serving.

Step 13

Serve the stir-fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of steamed rice or whole grain noodles for a complete meal.
