Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger root
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 3 stalks scallions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium lime

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin across the grain into strips approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the pork slices and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the carrot diagonally into thin rounds. Chop the scallions into 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated pork slices to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.

Step 7

Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, and carrot rounds to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked pork to the skillet, and add the scallions. Stir to combine all ingredients, cooking for 1-2 more minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 11

Squeeze lime juice over the stir-fry just before serving for a fresh, tangy flavor boost.
