Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 Carrot, thinly sliced
• 3 Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

In another small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce later.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the pork strips to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the pork to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 9

Pour in the garlic and ginger sauce and stir to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.

Step 10

Stir the cornstarch slurry again then pour it into the skillet. Continuously stir until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients, about 2 minutes.

Step 11

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry and give it a quick stir to distribute the flavor.

Step 12

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 13

Serve immediately over steamed rice or your choice of grain.
