Black Pepper Pork

 

Asian style marinated pork pair with green beans for an easy main dish using ingredients you probably already have on hand.

One of my tricks for making meat go further is to add veggies to our main dishes. It really helps to stretch that main dish out and help out your food budget. Plus we eat so much more veggies by having them in the main dish and as a side. We eat Asian food a lot and mostly homemade especially since our favorite Chinese place had a kitchen fire. Eek!

The pork cooks up really quick when it is thin cut. You can buy it thin cut or just cut thicker chops in half lengthwise. I love that this recipe uses pantry ingredients and they don’t take much time to put together. Perfect for busy weeknights when you don’t necessarily have the time or motivation to cook.
