Ingredients
- 6 cups Steamed brown rice
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tbsp olive oil or more as needed
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp cumin seed toasted and crushed
- 1-1/2 lbs boneless pork loin cut into strips 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide
- 1 med onion cut into 1/4-inch thick half moons
- 1 whole red bell pepper large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
- 1 whole green bell pepper large green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
- 2 whole Garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup Beef broth low sodium
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro leaves chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large plastic storage bag, mix the lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of the oil, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Add the pork strips and toss. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
- Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of the remaining oil and tilt the skillet to coat the bottom. Add the onion, red pepper, and green pepper. Stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Remove the pork from the marinade, pouring the marinade into a bowl. Stir the beef broth and tomato paste into the marinade and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. In 2 batches, cook the pork strips, adding more oil as needed, stirring often, until the pork is browned, about 4 minutes.
- Return the pork and peppers to the skillet. Add the broth mixture and cook until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Spoon the rice into individual serving bowls, top with the pork stir-fry, and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve immediately. Pass bowls of avocado and sour cream on the side, if desired.
