Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans if necessary. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). • Turn off heat; transfer pork to one side of prepared baking sheet.
• Add green beans to empty side of baking sheet; toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. • Roast on top rack until green beans are tender and pork is cooked through, 12-15 minutes. • Remove from oven; transfer pork to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add couscous and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to a small pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until butter has melted and couscous is lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes. • Add ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), half the stock concentrates (you’ll use more in the next step), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes. TIP: Drain excess water if necessary. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While couscous cooks, heat pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add remaining stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings); bring to a simmer and cook 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to low and whisk in sour cream, half the chopped dill, and mustard to taste. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and any resting juices from pork. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fluff couscous with a fork and season with salt and pepper. • Slice pork crosswise. • Divide couscous, pork, and green beans between plates. Spoon sauce over pork and sprinkle with remaining chopped dill and any remaining chili flakes to taste. Serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145º.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The creamy dill sauce is the star of this dish — rich, herby, and delicious over the tender pork filet 🍲. Some found it a touch salty; reduce the added salt on the meat and in the sauce if you're sensitive to sodium.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to prepare, though timing can be tricky — the couscous and sauce may finish well before the pork, so plan accordingly to avoid a thick, gummy sauce.
- Suggestions: Use the sauce sparingly with mustard, as too much can overpower the dill; adding a squeeze of lemon to the sauce and lemon zest to the couscous brightens the whole dish. Toast the couscous well in butter before adding liquid for the best nutty flavor, and cook it a minute or two longer than the recipe states if it seems underdone.
- Leftovers: The sauce keeps well and is delicious poured over the couscous the next day — a few customers said leftovers were just as good as the original meal.
Reviews from our home cooks
I would give this 5 stars if I could! I thought the combination of the pork tenderloin, cream sauce, and fresh dill was stunningly delicious! Especially the dill - wow! The couscous was also very flavorful. We unfortunately used ALL the red pepper flakes on the green beans - I think they could have done with 1/2 - 3/4 of the packet. This surprised me because we like hot, spicy foods in general but a couple of those beans may have gotten an uneven share of the pepper flakes and, in general, the beans (which cooked to perfection, by the way) had a surprisingly healthy 'kick'.
This meal was, by far, my absolute favorite! The flavor of the creamy dijon dill sauce a top of the juicy pork was an incredible delight for my taste buds! I will definitely be making that sauce again. The couscous was tender and delicious, along with the fresh roasted green beans. I highly recommend trying out this dish. It is simple and satisfying!
Very nice to have a delicious meal that was so easy to prepare. I Really liked the dill sauce with the pork. The pork portions were good quality & thick enough so they did not overcook in the oven & were tender when done. Pepper flakes were a great addition to the green beans. Some of the green beans were a little stringy in spite of being trimmed. I also liked the way the couscous rounded out the meal.
This was the first time trying couscous and dill! I was so happy I did. This is the reason why I wanted to try Hello Fresh. I wanted to try new recipes and experience new ingredients and flavors. Boy, did I. This recipe was so good! The dill sauce was so amazing that I even poured some on my green beans. The pork was flavorful and juicy. The couscous was such a different texture, but I liked it. I would definitely order this recipe again. Thank you, Hello Fresh, for opening my eyes and taste buds to new and different culinary experiences.
The Best! The cuts of pork were especially succulent. The creamy Dijon dill topping was addictive. Couscous added a perfect touch with the chicken broth .... While cleaning and trimming the green beans, I popped a couple in my mouth... not as pleasant tasting as I expected... sweetness was not there making me think the beans were not picked at the peak of perfection.
I will be ordering this dish again! Absolutely delicious! The dill sauce is just amazing and went well with the green beans and the couscous. The pork was tender, and I told my husband we need a rewind. I wanted to start all over in eating it again!
Dill is a good flavor combination with the pork loin. I like the couscous because it's something that I don't have very often. As a novice Cook, I felt that there was a lot that needed to go on at the same time, but the end result was delicious and worth the effort.
This meal was packed with flavor & so delicious. Israeli couscous was a nice side. The ingredients were high quality & very fresh. Creamy Dill Sauce set the pork off perfectly.
This is one of my all time favorites! I love couscous and the seasonings. And I think that the pork fillet recipe is delicious. The green beans and seasonings were very good.
Some of the green beans were moldy and slimy and had to be discarded making the portions smaller. The mustard dill sauce was delicious, but congealed too quickly in spite of following the recipe and the red pepper flakes overpowered the mustard dill sauce. The couscous took much longer to cook than the recipe called for. I would definitely do the mustard dill pork again, but I would not do it with couscous nor would I add red pepper flakes.
