  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
  • 500 g Ontario Pork Tenderloin, cut into thin strips
  • 1 Ontario Onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves Ontario Garlic, minced
  • 12 large Ontario Mushrooms, halved
  • 2 Ontario Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup (250 mL) beef or chicken broth

Instructions

In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned; transfer to bowl and set aside.

Add remaining oil to skillet; cook onion, garlic and mushrooms, stirring, for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in potatoes, broth, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper; reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, steam carrots, parsnips and rutabaga in steamer basket over boiling water about 5 minutes or until tender-crisp.

Add pork to skillet; cook, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes, until heated through and just a hint of pink remains in pork.

Divide steamed vegetables and pork among serving plates.
