Beyond its use for dressings and marinades, apple cider vinegar adds the right amount of acidity to transform sauces for savory dishes like in this fall-inspired stir-fry. A great dish to serve on a chilly night, the classic combination of pork and apples showcase the flavors of the seasoning making it a winner. We recommend using Fuji apples in this recipe because of their crisp texture and sweet flavor but Honeycrisp apples would make an excellent stand-in. A simple mixed greens salad would pair well with the stir-fry. For a heartier option, you could also complete the meal with either mashed cauliflower, potatoes, or turnips.

Ingredients

Uncooked lean pork tenderloin

¾ pound(s), cut into 1/4-inch thick bite-sized pieces

Jarred minced garlic

1 Tbsp

Sherry (dry or sweet)

2 Tbsp, divided

Cornstarch

2 tsp

Table salt

1 tsp, divided

Peanut oil

6 tsp, or vegetabe oil, divided

Apple cider

⅓ cup(s), or apple juice

Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp

Red onion

½ cup(s), sliced, thinly sliced

Apple

1 medium, (Fuji), thinly sliced with peel left on*

Carrots

1 cup(s)

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Fresh parsley

2 Tbsp, minced

Instructions

  1. 1. In a medium bowl, combine pork, garlic, 1 Tbsp sherry, cornstarch and 1/2 tsp of the salt until cornstarch is not visible. Stir in 1 tsp of oil. In a small bowl, combine cider, mustard and remaining 1 Tbsp sherry until mustard is dissolved.
  2. 2. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 3 tsp of oil. Add onion and stir-fry 10 seconds or until fragrant. Push onions to side of wok and add pork and spread evenly in one layer in wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting pork begin to sear. Stir-fry 1 minute with onions until pork is no longer pink but not cooked through.
  3. 3. Swirl in remaining 2 tsp oil. Add apples and carrots, and stir-fry 30 seconds or until well combined. Swirl cider mixture into wok, sprinkle on pepper, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until pork is cooked through and apples and carrots are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with parsley. Yields 1 cup per serving.

Notes

*The quickest way to cut an unpeeled apple is with an apple corer/divider. Once the apple is cut into 8 wedges, slice each wedge into 3, for a total of 24 slices.
