Citrusy and smoky with a touch of heat, our Cuban blend of spices brings a tropical flair to tender pork filets. A rich shallot gravy adds major flavor to the pork while a colorful side of chipotle and garlic roasted broccoli and carrots brings balance to this flavorful, satisfying meal.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep & Roast Veggies
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve, peel, and finely chop shallot. Quarter lime.

  • Toss broccoli and carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder (all for 4 servings), salt, pepper, and as much chipotle powder as you like (we used ¼ tsp; ½ tsp for 4).

  • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

  •  

Cook Pork
2
  • While veggies roast, pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with half the Cuban Spice Blend (all for 4 servings).

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if pork begins to brown too quickly.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.

Make Gravy
3
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-low heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

  • Add ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings), stock concentrate, and cream cheese. Cook, whisking constantly, until gravy is smooth and has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

  • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Slice pork crosswise.

  • Divide pork and roasted veggies between plates. Spoon gravy over pork. Top veggies with a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
