Prep: 10 Cook: 35

• 1head of broccoli
• ¼oz cilantro
• 1oz chicken stock concentrate
• 1shallot
• 1lime
• ½cup jasmine rice
• 10oz pork tenderloin
• 1oz sweet Thai chili sauce
• 1¼tsp ponzu sauce
• salt & pepper
• cooking oil
• butter

Prep:

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce.

Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.

Cook rice:

In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Sear pork:

While rice cooks, pat pork dry with paper towels, season all over with salt and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4- to 8-minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). Remove pan from heat.

Transfer pork to one side of a baking sheet.

Roast pork & broccoli:

Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from pork with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through and broccoli is browned and tender, 10-12 minutes.

Once pork is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Season broccoli and spread across entire sheet, roast as instructed.

Make pan sauce:

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add shallot, cook until softened and slightly browned, 1- to 2-minutes.

Stir in stock concentrate, chili sauce, ponzu, and ¼ cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2- to 3-minutes.

Stir in a big squeeze of lime juice to taste. Remove pan from heat, stir in 1 TBS butter until melted.

Finish & serve:

Thinly slice pork crosswise.

Fluff rice with a fork, stir in lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide rice, broccoli, and pork between plates. Top pork with pan sauce. Garnish everything with the remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
