Ingredients
- 1½ lb pork tenderloin
- 1 lb fresh broccolini
- 12 oz cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger root
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 count lime
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Trim pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1-inch medallions, and season all sides with salt and pepper; slice mushrooms, trim broccolini bottoms, and halve any thick stems lengthwise.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear pork medallions 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (145°F internal temperature, then rest 3 minutes), transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, then sauté mushrooms 3 minutes until caramelized; add broccolini and cook 5 minutes until tender-crisp and edges char slightly, adding minced ginger for the last 30 seconds.
- Return pork to skillet, pour coconut aminos and lime juice over all, toss gently to coat, and serve immediately.
- Picky eater tip: set aside a few plain seared pork medallions and plain broccolini before adding the sauce.
- Make ahead: slice the pork, mushrooms and broccolini up to a day ahead and store covered in the fridge.
On the side: Steamed rice (20 min)
1 cup long grain white rice
- Rinse the rice. Bring twice as much water as rice to a boil with a pinch of salt, stir in the rice, cover and simmer on low for 18 minutes.
- Take it off the heat, keep the lid on 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
