Pork And Peppers In 30 Minutes Recipes

PORK AND PEPPERS (IN 30 MINUTES)

Steps:

• Heat a skillet on high heat and add olive oil.
• Liberally salt and pepper the pork and once the skillet is hot, add the pork to the pan and sear on each side for about 2 minutes. (The pork won't be cooked in the middle...that's ok)
• Remove the pork and set aside on a plate.
• Lower the skillet heat to medium.
• Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Add in the peppers and onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until they're starting to turn translucent.
• Add in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Add in the red wine and bring to a boil for 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the pork back into the pan nestling it into the sauce.
• Cook for about 15 minutes, turning half way through.

PORK AND PEPPER STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together rice wine vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Stir in pork pieces, cover, and leave at room temperature for 1/2 hour.
• Heat a large wok over medium heat. Toast almonds in hot, dry wok until golden brown and fragrant.
• Heat vegetable oil in wok over medium-high heat. Stir in marinated pork pieces, ginger, and chile paste. (Discard remaining marinade.) Mix in teriyaki sauce, and increase heat to high; cook, stirring constantly, until pork is white. Stir in peppers, and continue to stir fry until most of the liquid has evaporated. Top with toasted almond slivers and fresh mint.

SKILLET PORK AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Slice the pork on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces; season with salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the broth and return to a simmer. Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.
