Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees. 

  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for the pork) and then pork tenderloin to heated oil. Sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden. Pour wine (or stock) into skillet, cover loosely with foil, and bake in the oven for 16 to 20 minutes or until pork reaches 145F / 63C.

  3. When pork is finished cooking, transfer it to a cutting board and cover to keep warm. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Transfer hot skillet to stovetop.

  4. Heat skillet (leave any liquid that remains after cooking pork in the pan) over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for the broccoli) to heated skillet. Add garlic and broccoli to heated oil. Saute until garlic is fragrant, ~2 minutes. Add water and cover with a lid. With the lid on, steam broccoli until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over top and season with some salt and pepper.

  5. Slice pork and top with parsley. Serve with broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
