Steps

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the pork tenderloin and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  4. Add the sliced apple and cook for another 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
  5. Return the pork to the pan and add the soy sauce and honey. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Apple and Pork Stir Fry

  • Cut the pork into evenly sized pieces so it cooks at a similar pace; avoid crowding the pan, which can make it steam instead of brown.
  • The apples should look glossy and hold their shape, while the sauce lightly coats the pork; cooking them too long can make them mushy.
  • Have the sliced onion, apple, and sauce ingredients ready before cooking; the short stir-fry timing leaves little room for prep.

Drink pairing

A dry, medium-bodied cider
Its crisp apple character complements the fruit in the stir-fry and balances the savory pork and sweet sauce.

0% option: Sparkling apple juice

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the pork is done?

Cut into the thickest piece: it should be opaque throughout with no raw-looking center. Avoid overcooking, which can make tenderloin dry.

Can I prepare anything ahead?

You can slice the onion and apple and mince the garlic shortly ahead; keep them covered and refrigerated until cooking.

What should I serve with this stir-fry?

Steamed rice or noodles make a simple base, and a crisp green vegetable pairs well with the sweet-savory sauce.
