Pork with Three Peppers is a classic Sichuan dish that bursts with flavor and color. It's made with tender pork, three types of peppers (bell pepper, chili pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns), and a savory sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. This dish is typically served over rice or noodles, and it can be made as spicy or mild as you like.
Besides the main recipe, the article also includes three other variations of Pork with Three Peppers:
* **Pork with Green Pepper and Black Bean Sauce:** This variation uses green peppers instead of bell peppers, and it's made with a black bean sauce that adds a rich, earthy flavor to the dish.
* **Pork with Roasted Red Peppers:** This variation uses roasted red peppers, which give the dish a slightly smoky and sweet flavor.
* **Pork with Spicy Szechuan Sauce:** This variation uses a spicy Szechuan sauce that's made with chili peppers, ginger, and garlic. It's the perfect choice for those who like their food hot and spicy.
No matter which variation you choose, you're sure to enjoy this delicious and flavorful dish.
SKILLET PORK AND PEPPERS
This one-pan dish has flavors reminiscent of the Italian-American classic sausage-and-peppers, but is much lighter. We've swapped the typical sausage for lean and juicy pork tenderloin and added pickled pepperoncini for zip.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Slice the pork on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces; season with salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the broth and return to a simmer. Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.

PORK WITH THREE PEPPERS DINNER
Yum! We had this for supper tonight. I chose not to use the extra salt, as the canned soup has plenty of salty taste, and I added more chili powder, and didn't use all of the flour/water thickening mixture. A really nice, fast weeknight supper that everyone enjoyed! Give this one a try... (This came from the April 8, 2002 Taste of Home magazine.)

Steps:
- In a large skillet, stirfry the pork, onions and garlic together in oil for 3 minutes.
- Stir in the broth, peppers, tomato paste, salsa, chili powder, and salt.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until pork is no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
- Combine flour and water until smooth.
- Gradually add this mixture to pan.
- Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Serve over rice.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the right cut of pork: For this recipe, a boneless, skinless pork loin roast is ideal. It's a lean cut of meat that cooks quickly and evenly.
- Season the pork well: Season the pork generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the pork over medium heat: Cooking the pork over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you cook it over high heat, the outside of the pork will cook too quickly while the inside remains raw.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the pork is cooked to the proper temperature, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork rest before slicing: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Pork with Three Peppers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of pork, peppers, and sauce is flavorful and satisfying. This recipe is also a great way to use up any leftover vegetables that you have on hand.
