Savory Sweet and Sour Pepper Pork

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sweet and Sour Pepper Pork.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork cubes and sprinkle them with kosher salt. Sear the pork for about 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are beautifully browned on all sides. Once done, remove the pork from the skillet and cover it with foil to keep it warm while you prepare the sauce.

2. Step 2

   In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced green bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant. This is where the magic begins!

3. Step 3

   Next, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and white sugar, stirring them into the mixture. Cook for an additional minute to let the flour absorb the flavors.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to add the liquids! Pour in the white wine, red wine vinegar, and water, stirring well to combine. Then, mix in the soy sauce, ketchup, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and develop a rich flavor.

5. Step 5

   Finally, return the seared pork to the skillet, stirring everything together until the pork is well coated in that luscious sauce. Let it simmer for a couple more minutes to heat through, and then it’s ready to serve!
