This Pork and Brussels Sprouts Skillet is a quick and delicious one-pan meal perfect for busy weeknights. Featuring tender pork, caramelized Brussels sprouts, and a hint of garlic, it’s a nutritious and flavorful dish the whole family will love.

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the Brussels sprouts and sliced onion, cooking until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and the onions are softened, about 7-10 minutes.

3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Return the pork to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Success Tips: Ensure the Brussels sprouts are evenly halved to promote even caramelization. Do not overcrowd the skillet to avoid steaming the vegetables.

Pairing Suggestions: Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
