Servings: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- ¾ cup coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from 2 large oranges)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 ½ – 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Stir-Fry:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, divided
- 1 ¼ lb. pork tenderloin or pork chops, cut into ¼-inch strips (or thinner)
- Fine salt and pepper (for seasoning pork)
- 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets (3-4 cups)
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch thick half moons (2 cups)
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced (1½ cups)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (1½ cups)
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the orange zest, orange juice, garlic, sesame oil, coconut aminos, and ginger. Add the cornstarch to the sauce mixture and stir well. Set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and swirl to coat.
- Add the pork to the skillet in a single layer, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the pork is no longer pink. Remove pork to a clean plate and set aside.
- To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and swirl to coat.
- Add the zucchini, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and onion to the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked pork back to the skillet along with the sauce (stir the sauce one more time to ensure that the cornstarch is mixed in well). Cook for 2-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly.
- Top with sesame seeds and serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
May prepare the stir-fry sauce up to 3 days in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
May prep the tenderloin and veggies up to 2 days in advance, which helps make it even faster to make this stir-fry dinner.
