Ingredients
- 1 lb, thinly sliced pork tenderloin
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp, minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp, optional red chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove broccoli and set aside.
- Step 2: Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp sesame oil to the skillet. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork tenderloin to the skillet, spreading it out to sear without overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pork is browned and cooked through.
- Step 4: Return the broccoli to the skillet and add 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the ingredients and is heated through.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately for a flavorful Whole30 stir-fry.
