Pork And Green Beans With Brown Rice Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all ingredients: 1 lb of pork loin, sliced into strips, 2 cups of fresh green beans, trimmed, 1 cup of brown rice, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Cook the Brown Rice

Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium pot, add the brown rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Step 3: Cook the Pork

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Sauté the Green Beans

In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Return the cooked pork to the pan with the green beans. Add soy sauce and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Serve hot over the cooked brown rice.
