Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately for a flavorful Whole30 stir-fry.
