SavoryPretzel7746

This Keto Sautéed Pork and Green Beans is the perfect summer dinner: crisp-tender green beans and juicy, golden-seared pork come together in a garlic-ginger pan sauce that’s both bold and refreshingly simple. By flash-searing the pork and quickly sautéing the beans, you lock in flavor and preserve vibrant color and crunch. Finished with a touch of soy and a sprinkle of green onions, this dish is high in protein, low in carbs, and made for warm Arkansas evenings. It’s quick enough for a weeknight, yet special enough to serve to guests—plus, it’s a one-pan wonder that keeps cleanup minimal.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pat pork strips dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add pork strips in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then stir-fry until just cooked through, about 2-3 more minutes. Transfer pork to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the skillet. Add green beans and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender, stirring frequently.
Add garlic and ginger to the green beans, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return pork (and any juices) to the skillet. Add soy sauce and red pepper flakes, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if using, and serve immediately.
