Keto Pork Tenderloin
I don't know if it's my midwest upbringing, but pork recipes are on a regular rotation in our household and on the blog.
If I had to guess, I'd say there are about a million different ways you can make a pork recipe. Pork is pretty much a blank canvas to write, errrrr, cook on.
This keto pork tenderloin recipe falls under that category for sure, making it easy to serve your family.
Making Pork into Stir Fry
1. Use a large frying pan or a wok to make this stir fry.
Farm Girl Tip: I went to a kitchen specialty store to buy a wok several years ago. The lady working there talked me into getting this large pan instead of a wok because of our family size (five) and its versatility.
We also love that it has two handles for moving heavy dishes from oven to stovetop or table.
Though it was a bit of an investment I use it almost every single day, which I can say with 100 percent certainty I couldn't say about a specialty wok!
If you have a wok, I say go for it and pull that baby out!
2. Heat olive oil, add pork in two batches, if necessary. What you don't want to do here is crowd the pan! Once the pork is browned on all sides, add the bell pepper, green onion, ginger, cashews and garlic powder. Stir fry the veggies until they become crisp-tender, around 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the bok choy, sesame oil, and tamari. Continue to stir fry until the bok choy wilts and the other ingredients are coated, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to individual serving plates. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.
Substitution Ideas
- Use a large skillet instead of a wok
- Substitute fresh spinach for the bok choy
- Use any color of bell pepper - green, red, yellow, or orange

This is one of the best stir fry recipes I’ve ever made! I’m on COVID-19 lockdown and had to cook with what I had ion hand. I doubled the recipe. I didn’t have bok Choy so I used sliced zucchini. I didn’t have green onion so I used half a cooking onion. This was a big hit with everyone! That you for sharing! I think I’ll be making this weekly!
Imthian
Thanks. Loved it. We added one chilli to give a extra kick and worked like a charm.

Hi I have this on my menu to make I wondered if I could throw it right in my slowcooker? Currently have a broken knee and can't stand for long periods of time. So skillet and me aren't friends lol. If so would I increase the cooking time?
Dezirae
I meant estimated how long should I cook it for if I do the slowcooker? Sorry for the confusion!
