  • About

Well-trimmed pork loin, and especially pork tenderloin, are among the leanest cuts of pork. The tenderloin is also one of the most tender cuts of meat; it remains juicy if you cook it until it is just done, no longer. You can find it, often two to a package, in the meat section of the supermarket.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces lean boneless pork loin or a tenderloin, cut into thin strips (1 to 1½ × ¼ × ¼ inch)
  • 1 teaspoon</

Method

  • Stir the pork, soy sauce, grated orange zest, and crushed garlic in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Steam the green beans and carrots on a rack over 1 inch of simmering water, tightly covered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Rinse under cold
