Quick and Easy Pork Stir Fry – Tender slices of marinated pork sautéed with colorful bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions, then coated in a quick and easy homemade sauce! Ready and on the table in under 30 minutes!

Back-to-school time is a hard time for all families with hectic schedules, and the last thing you need to worry about is what’s for dinner. Our family loves stir-fries, but we seldom make them because I tend to overlook them. Every time I make a stir fry, I have it in my mind that I always need to marinate the meat beforehand for optimal flavor. Now time doesn’t always allow that to happen, so today I am going to share a little secret with you. You are going to love it!

This quick and easy pork stir-fry is perfect for those hectic nights when you need to get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Stir-fries are popular for a reason – they are so quick, and it’s a great way to use any vegetables you need to use up. This pork stir-fry is loaded with delicious ingredients like marinated pork, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

So my little secret to this pork stir-fry is Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin that I purchased from Food Lion. I really enjoy shopping at Food Lion because I can always find anything I need there. Not only can I purchase all my ingredients, Food Lion has a variety of Smithfield products. We love how versatile they are and love how many flavors and cuts they come in! You can choose from Tenderloin, Loin Filet, and Sirloin. They are perfect to have on hand for those incredibly busy nights. If you are looking for another great recipe that’s ready in 30 minutes, I recommend trying our Grilled Pork Tacos with Mexican Corn Salsa! #RealFlavorRealFast

For this recipe, you will need thin slices of pork. A little trick to easily slicing thin strips is to place your pork tenderloin in the freezer for 10 minutes. It’s the perfect time to prep and slice your vegetables! There are two ways to make this pork stir-fry. I like to cook my thinly sliced pork in batches because it adds a little color to the meat and it doesn’t water down the sauce. If you are in a hurry, you can fry the meat and vegetables in the skillet or wok at the same time. Just remember to drain any liquid from the skillet or wok before adding the sauce.
