• 1 (2 pound) pork roast
• 1/2 C flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 Tb olive oil
• SWEET and SOUR SAUCE:
• 1 1/4 C sugar
• 3/4 C vinegar
• 1 tsp chicken bullion
• 1/3 C ketchup
• 2 Tb soy sauce
• 1/2 C pineapple juice
• 1 1/2 Tb cornstarch
• green onions, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grab a pork roast. I like to buy these sirloin tip roasts at Costco. They come in a four-pack and are individually packaged. Love that.
3. Slice the roast into strips about 2 inches thick.
4. Into a loaf pan, or small bowl combine 1/2 C flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder) and 1/4 tsp pepper.
5. Into a separate pan whisk two eggs together until frothy.
6. Dip each pork strip into the flour mixture and then into the egg, making sure both sides are covered.
7. Into a hot, deep skillet place 2 Tb of olive oil.
8. Carefully place the breaded pork strips into the hot pan and allow them to get a nice brown sear on both sides.
9. Place the pork strips into a 9x13 pan you have sprayed with cooking spray.
10. Into a small mixing bowl place 1 1/4 C sugar, 3/4 C vinegar, 1 tsp chicken bullion, 1/3 C ketchup, 2 Tb soy sauce, 1/2 C pineapple juice and 1 1/2 Tb cornstarch. Whisk the ingredients together to combine.
11. Pour the mixture over the pork.
12. Bake, uncovered for 1 hour.
Serve with rice and sprinkle with green onions (optional, but great!) and enjoy!
