QUICK AND EASY STIR FRY PORK

This is a recipe from an old grocery store give-away card. This was an old Midwestern grocery store.

1 lb pork, sliced thin
2 tbsp oil
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 lb bean sprouts
1/2 cup thinly sliced (julienned) carrots

Brown pork in oil. Add celery, onion, and soy sauce. Stir fry 3 minutes. Add bean sprouts and stir fry an additional 2 minutes. Serve hot.

BARBECUED PORK STEAKS

This recipe is from an old pamphlet from the National Pork Producers Council.

4 pork blade steaks, cut 1 to 1 1/4-inches thick
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce (your choice)
1/3 cup honey
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp prepared mustard

Pound steaks with a meat mallet. For sauce, in a small bowl combine the barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and prepared mustard; mix together well.

Place steaks on grill about 4-inches above slow coals.* Cook about 20 minutes on each side. Brush steaks with sauce and continue cooking 10 to 20 minutes more, turning occasionally and brushing with more sauce.

Yield: 4 servings

Note: In today's modern kitchen many cooks now have indoor grills. Adjust cooking instructions to your grill.

Enjoy!
