Low Carb Sesame Pork with Green Beans
To make this dish we start by slicing our pork chops into nice slim pieces. You want to make sure you slice them fairly evenly and not too thick so they cook quickly. Sauté the pork in a large skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have a nice gold color. Once the meat is cooked we pour in our homemade sesame sauce. The sauce has sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper. It is a rich mixture that is slightly sweet and compliments the pork perfectly!
We add the sauce to the skillet along with several handfuls of fresh green beans. Stir the mixture well so the sauce is completely coated, cover and reduce the heat to low, and allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes.
Voila! There you go! A healthy, hearty delicious dinner ready in under 30 minutes! Serve this over rice for a perfectly well-rounded meal!
