Sweet and Sour Pork with Peppers
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over extremely high heat, allowing the oil to reach its maximum temperature. Gently place the pork into the hot oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to enhance flavor. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the pork is evenly browned on all sides.
2
Remove the pork from the oil and cover it with aluminum foil to maintain its warmth, setting it aside for further preparation.
3
In the same skillet over a medium heat setting, melt the butter to its liquid state. Combine the bell pepper, onion, and garlic in a harmonious blend, sautéing them for 5 minutes to bring out their natural sweetness.
4
Introduce the flour and sugar into the skillet, stirring them together for 1 minute to create a smooth paste.
5
Add the wine, vinegar, and water to the skillet, stirring them in to create a balanced sauce.
6
Combine the soy sauce, ketchup, and black pepper into the sauce, stirring them in to create a rich flavor profile.
7
Gradually reduce the heat to a low setting and allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened to a desired consistency.
8
Return the pork pieces to the skillet and stir them in, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce.
