    Why This Recipe Stands Out

    We all love a hearty, comforting stew, especially as the weather gets cooler. Here's why you'll love this pork vegetable stew:

    • Flavor-Packed: The combination of pork tenderloin, oregano, and a variety of bell peppers makes this stew incredibly flavorful.
    • Easy to Make: This stew is simple and easy to make. It's a great recipe for beginner cooks and seasoned pros alike.
    • Comfort Food: The hearty, comforting nature of this stew makes it a perfect dish for fall and winter.
    • Perfect for a Crowd: This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a large group, making it perfect for family gatherings or potlucks.
    • Complete Meal: This stew is a meal in itself. The pork provides protein, while the vegetables offer a nice balance.

    Key Ingredients

    • Pork Tenderloin – The star of our dish, pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips, is a lean and tender cut of meat that absorbs flavors beautifully.
    • Jalapeño – We use a small Jalapeño, thinly sliced, to add a bit of heat to the stew. You can adjust the amount according to your preference.
    • Bell Peppers – We use half of each red, yellow, and green bell peppers, thinly sliced, to add a sweet, crunchy texture and a pop of color.
    • Chicken Stock – Half a cup of chicken stock not only adds depth of flavor but also helps to tenderize the pork and vegetables.
    • Garlic – We use four cloves of garlic, finely minced, to add a robust, aromatic flavor to the stew.

    Substitutions and Variations

    Here are a few of our favorite variations and substitution ideas to make this recipe your own:

    • Meat: While we used pork tenderloin in this recipe, feel free to substitute it with chicken or beef. You can even use bone-in meat for extra flavor.
    • Spices: If you prefer a spicier stew, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. You can also play around with other dried herbs like thyme or rosemary.
    • Vegetables: The beauty of this stew is that you can customize the vegetables to your liking. Try adding mushrooms, sweet potatoes, or even some leafy greens like kale or spinach.
    • Broth: If you don't have chicken stock on hand, you can use vegetable stock or even water with a bit of extra salt.

    How to Make Pork Vegetable Stew

    Step 1: Combine tenderloin, oregano, soy sauce, and jalapeño in a bowl and marinate for 20 minutes.

    Step 2: In a large non-stick pan, sauté minced onion until translucent. Add the marinated tenderloin and jalapeño and cook for 10 minutes.

    Step 3: Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add potatoes and chicken stock. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.

    Step 4: Season with salt and pepper. Add butter, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for 5-10 minutes and serve immediately.

    What to Serve with Pork Vegetable Stew

    • Rice and potatoes are the classic pairing for this hearty stew. You can serve it with a side of boiled or mashed potatoes. The potatoes will soak up the flavors of the stew and make for a satisfying meal.
    • Perfectly cooked white rice is also a great option. The stew has a rich, savory flavor that pairs well with the neutral, fluffy texture of rice.
    • If you're looking to add some extra veggies to your meal, a healthy napa cabbage salad would be a great choice. They'll add a fresh, crunchy element to balance out the hearty stew.
    • For a complete meal, serve the pork vegetable stew with a side of crusty bread. You can use the bread to soak up the delicious broth and enjoy every last bit of the stew

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What type of pork is best for this stew?

    For this recipe, we recommend using pork tenderloin. It's a lean and tender cut that cooks relatively quickly, making it perfect for a stew like this.

    Can I use fresh oregano instead of dried?

    Yes, you can absolutely use fresh oregano if you have it on hand. In fact, many people prefer the flavor of fresh herbs. If using fresh oregano, you may want to increase the amount slightly, as the flavor of fresh herbs is generally milder than that of dried.

    How do I know when the pork is cooked?

    The pork is cooked when it turns from pink to a light brown color. You can also check for doneness by cutting it into a piece. It should no longer be pink in the middle.

    How long does pork vegetable stew keep?

    This pork vegetable stew can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its freshness and flavor, store it in an airtight container.
