Why This Dish Is So Satisfying

Full of bold flavors and a satisfying kick of spice. The combination of tender beef and crunchy peppers creates a great texture. It’s quick to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Chef Tips

- Use thinly sliced beef for faster cooking and better flavor absorption.
- Cook the peppers until just tender to keep their crunch.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili according to your taste.

Step 1

Slic the pork chops into strips, then season them with some pepper, garlic powder, and seasoning salt. Give everything a good squeeze of lime juice to brighten up the flavors. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of fat—once it’s melted and the pan is coated, take out the excess fat. Add the seasoned pork strips and cook them until they’re nicely browned, which should take about 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the meat is cooking, make the green sauce. Toss the tomatillos, tomato, jalapeños, and dried chilies into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let everything simmer until the veggies are soft, then drain any extra liquid. Transfer the cooked ingredients to a blender along with garlic and a pinch of salt, and blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the sauce over the browned meat in the skillet, then let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes so all those flavors can come together. Give it a taste at the end and add a little more salt or pepper if you think it needs it.

Best Ways To Serve

Serve with steamed rice or noodles to balance the heat. A side of fresh cucumber salad or a simple green vegetable can add a cooling contrast to the spiciness.

Keeping It Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the beef tender and peppers crisp. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture.
