Pork with Asian Peanut Slaw

Don't you just love going into the grocery store to get your weekly shopping done and getting stopped by all of the people passing out samples?! Even better, the ones where they are actually cooking the meals and give you the recipes for it! LOVE IT!

This is a recipe that was DELICIOUS!!! My kids even liked it, although the slaw was a little too spicy for them. We made it last night for dinner....YUMMO!

Pork with Asian Peanut Slaw
Prep time: 15 mins     Cook Time: 6-8 mins    Serves 4

1 lb. boneless center cut pork chops, cut 1/2" thick (we used a pork tenderloin grilled on the grill)
3 Tbs. vegetable or grape seed oil
2 Tbs. each fresh squeezed lime juice, soy sauce, & sugar
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 bag Fresh Express 3 color Cole Slaw
1/2 C. very thin sliced red bell pepper
1/2 C. roasted peanuts
1/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 C. chopped green onions (or more), including green tops

  1. Whisk oil, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar & red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Remove 2 Tbsps. of dressing mixture and set aside. Toss remaining dressing mixture with coleslaw, cilantro, bell pepper, green onions and peanuts. Season to taste. Set aside or chill untill ready to serve.
  2. Brush reserved dressing mixture over pork chops. Cook pork 3-4 minutes per side in heated grill pan, broiler or on the grill; pork should be done (150 degrees when tested with a thermometer) but still pink in the center.
  3. Let stand 2-3 mins; slice into strips and serve pork over slaw.
You could also just serve the slaw as a side dish with another meat.

Enjoy!!
