Citrusy Tex-Mex Steak
with Spiced Veggie Jumble & Lime Crema
Juicy pork filet loves a little something sweet, and sweetness pairs beautifully with a little spicy heat! Lucky you—tonight’s dinner has it all. Succulent pork is seasoned with our Southwest Spice Blend, seared, then roasted to perfection beside a colorful array of sweet potatoes, green bell pepper, and red onion. Top the pork with a citrusy Tex-Mex sauce made with fresh orange and lime juice, and drizzle your plate with cool, tangy lime crema just before serving. Cheers to perfect pairings!

Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and slice onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Zest and quarter lime. Halve orange.
Toss sweet potato, onion, and bell pepper on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step), and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer pork to a second baking sheet. Wipe out pan.
Roast pork on middle rack until cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
While pork and veggies roast, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of lime zest. PRO TIP: Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for an even more gut-friendly option.
Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
About 5 minutes before pork and veggies are done, heat pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Stir in half the Tex-Mex paste (all for 4 servings), juice from orange halves, and a squeeze of lime juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted and combined.
Slice pork crosswise.
Divide pork and veggie jumble between plates. Spoon Tex-Mex sauce over pork. Drizzle crema over everything and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
