Simple and delicious Sesame Pork and Green Beans! A healthy, hearty meal ready in under 30 minutes!

Let me just set the scene for you.
You just walked in the door, exhausted. Maybe you shuffled kids from place to place, all day. Maybe you’ve been at the office. Maybe you have done a bit of both. As your corralling your family into the house kids are yelling, homework is flying, and you hear the dreaded question “what’s for dinner?”

“Dinner?” you think? Oh dear, I haven’t gotten that far yet! If this is you, I have a solution. Sesame Pork and Green Beans! This dish is simple, wholesome, ready in under 30 minutes and requires only one pan. It is the ultimate solution for a busy night!

To make this dish we start by slicing our pork chops into nice slim pieces. You want to make sure you slice them fairly evenly and not too thick so they cook quickly. Sauté the pork in a large skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have a nice gold color. Once the meat is cooked we pour in our homemade sesame sauce. The sauce has sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar and pinch of red pepper. It is a rich mixture that is slightly sweet and compliments the pork perfectly!

We add the sauce to the skillet along with several handfuls of fresh green beans. Stir the mixture well so the sauce is completely coated, cover and reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes.

Voila! There you go! A healthy, hearty delicious dinner ready in under 30 minutes! Serve this over rice for a perfectly well rounded meal!
