Summary:
This basic pork and broccoli stir fry only takes 30 minutes from start to finish, with fewer than 10 ingredients total. The pork is tossed with corn starch before searing on a pan, yielding tender and moist meat, and the sauce is a simple mix of soy sauce, minced garlic, and sweetener.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yield: 3 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 4 cups small broccoli florets (Note 1)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (Note 2)
  • 1.5 tablespoons sugar equivalent sweetener (Note 3)
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Prepare: Pat ground pork dry with paper towels. Place pork in large bowl and evenly sprinkle with corn starch. Use hands to work it in until well-mixed, then set aside. Before proceeding with recipe, verify all ingredients are measured, prepared, and ready to go.
  • Cook Pork & Broccoli: Heat oil in 10-inch sautรฉ pan (Note 4) over medium-high heat for a few minutes or until hot. Add ground pork to pan and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes, crumbling meat with stiff utensil. Add broccoli to pan and stir with pork. Add beef broth. Cook until broccoli is nearly tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If pan gets too dry, add more beef broth. Meanwhile, proceed to next step to make sauce.
  • Make Sauce: While waiting for broccoli to cook, stir together all sauce ingredients in small saucepan over medium-low heat until starting to simmer, about 5 minutes, then reduce to low heat to keep sauce warm.
  • Serve: Evenly pour sauce over pork and broccoli in pan, stirring until everything is well-coated with sauce. Cook for another few minutes or until broccoli is tender. Turn off heat, and stir in scallions. Taste, adjusting salt, pepper, and sweetener as needed. Serve hot (Note 5).

NOTES & TIPS

(1) Broccoli Florets. About 8 ounces raw weight. You can cut florets from a head of broccoli, or you can buy a bag of pre-cut raw florets located in the refrigerated produce section of many U.S. grocery stores. I recommend cutting the florets into smaller pieces (no larger than 1.5 inches) so that they cook quickly and are more likely to be evenly distributed in the stir fry.
(2) Soy Sauce. I use low sodium soy sauce by brands like Kikkoman or Trader Joe’s. Avoid regular soy sauce, which will likely be too salty. “Light soy sauce” refers to color and is not the same as “low sodium soy sauce.”
(3) Sweetener. I use swerve, which is a dry sweetener that measures the same as sugar, but has no carb impact. Use your preferred sweetener by making any necessary conversions or adding to taste.
(4) Sautรฉ Pan. I use a 10-inch nonstick sautรฉ pan with 3-inch tall sides. Smaller pans may not be able to hold all of the ingredients.
(5) Serving. Serve this pork and broccoli stir fry with a bright side dish like Asian cucumber salad or a flavorful appetizer like chicken satay with peanut sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheated using the microwave.
(6) Carbs. The nutrition calculation assumes you are using Swerve or a similar erythritol-based sweetener that uses sugar alcohols, whose carbs are non-impact and therefore not included in the nutrition estimate. Apps that count sugar alcohols will show a higher number of carbs.

Very tasty. We all loved it as I knew we would. So I made enough for two days. Will taste even better tomorrow. Green beans also go well with this recipe (I added them). Highly recommend this. Itโ€™s easy and comes together fast.

Loved this recipe! I used half a pound instead of 1 lb of pork and used more broccoli. Turned out so delicious over rice. Yum! 5 stars!

Thank, this was excellent! I used frozen broccoli and just sauted it. I followed all other instructions (unlike normally). I have so much ground pork and beef frozen that I need to use up and this was a hit. Perfect for me as I am a bariatric patient.

I really like the flavor of the sauce. I will make it again but next time Iโ€™m going to sautรฉ broccoli zucchini squash and onion. I like a lot of textures. Also, you could sub in chicken breast as the meat. The base flavor is pretty good tho

This was so simple, but I am shocked at how amazing it turned out! I have 2 extremely picky toddlers, and every single person in this house had seconds! I served it over rice for them, but the adults had it keto style and my oldest daughter actually asked me if I could make it again the next night. This is staying in my recipe box forever!

**NOTE: I only had frozen broccoli, so I threw that in a pan to thaw and then cooked it with my meat. I also only had chicken broth on hand, still tasted great!

I think this recipe came out perfect. There’s no depth of flavor to it except the soy sauce and garlic so make sure you have enough pepper, sweetener and salt at the end and leave all the cooking liquids in the pot so the taste is light enough.

Can Tapioca starch be used?

I haven’t tested this recipe with tapioca starch, so I can’t say how it’ll turn out. I recommend using corn starch since it tenderizes the meat.
