Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless pork loin or shoulder, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 tbsp avocado oil, divided
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut small
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (or 1/4 tsp glucomannan) to thicken
- 2 green onions, sliced, plus sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Pat the pork slices dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
- 2
Add the pork in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir-fry 1-2 minutes more until browned and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- 3
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, then the broccoli, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 4
Whisk together the coconut aminos, tamari, sesame oil, and xanthan gum, then pour into the skillet. Toss for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
- 5
Return the pork and any juices to the pan, toss to coat and heat through for 1 minute. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve hot.
Tips & notes
- Freeze the pork for 20 minutes before slicing to get paper-thin strips that cook quickly and stay tender.
- Swap in any keto-friendly vegetables you have on hand — zucchini, snow peas, baby bok choy, or cauliflower all work. Keep total veg around 4 cups to hold the carb count.
- Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a hot skillet rather than the microwave to keep the vegetables crisp.
