Pork Filet with Creamy Garlic Sauce
plus Roasted Sweet Potato Couscous
- Wheat
- Milk
Let’s hear it for the humble pan sauce! Here, it’s made with fresh garlic, cream cheese, and butter for a drizzly accent to succulent seared pork filet. Everything’s nestled over a hearty bed of toasted pearl couscous, mixed with roasted sweet potato and garnished with scallion. Pork filet may win the prize, but we’re big fans of this best supporting sauce!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice sweet potato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Toss sweet potato on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-22 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet after 11 minutes).
• While sweet potato roasts, using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan, crush peppercorns inside packet of Steak Spice. • Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with 11⁄2 tsp Steak Spice (all for 4 servings), a big pinch of 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 to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Once sweet potato has roasted 11 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss sweet potato; add pork to empty side of baking sheet. • Return to top rack until pork is cooked through and sweet potato is browned and tender, 9-11 minutes. • Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium pot over medium- high heat. Add scallion whites and half the garlic (you’ll use the rest in the next step); cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add couscous and stir to coat. Stir in 11⁄2 cups water (21⁄4 cups for 4 servings), chicken stock concentrate, 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. • Drain any excess liquid if necessary. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While couscous cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add remaining garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings), mushroom stock concentrate, and cream cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese melts and sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Stir roasted sweet potato into pot with couscous. • Thinly slice pork crosswise. • Divide couscous and pork between plates. Spoon pan sauce over pork. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The creamy garlic pan sauce is a standout, and the seasoned pork pairs beautifully with the sweet potato couscous. Some found the sauce or seasoning too salty, so taste as you go and hold back on added salt.
- Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward to cook, though juggling the pork, couscous, and roasting veggies simultaneously takes some coordination.
- Suggestions: Reduce the water for the couscous — several reviewers found 1½ cups too much and ended up with a watery result. A few also recommend keeping the sweet potato separate from the couscous rather than mixing it in, for better texture.
- Leftovers: This dish reheats well the next day, with several customers noting the flavors are just as good — or even better — the second time around.
- Couscous: Some loved the sweet potato stirred into the couscous; others preferred it served on the side to avoid mushiness — try it both ways and see what you prefer.
Reviews from our home cooks
This was surprisingly good! I'm usually not a huge pork fillet fan, but the unctuous, creamy sauce over the pork and couscous was absolutely delicious. I cooked the sweet potatoes in my air fryer, which caramelized them nicely and contributed to the flavor of the dish.
My sweet potato was rotted inside, and the pork doesn't cook all the way in the pan bc it's thick so I finish in the oven. Overall though the sauce is a winner and this pairs perfectly with the creamy couscous
I honestly don't know what I find more delicious, the roasted sweet potato mixed with the couscous or the mushroom garlic cream cheese gravy but I do know that the combination of all of those things is an absolute masterpiece
Hello fresh has really quality pork filet! Every time we have a pork filet meal its amazing, and this one was no different. The sauce was really good and it paired well with the couscous
I FINALLY nailed a pan sauce. Atop a perfectly cooked pork and flavorful couscous, this dish was fantastic. The only negative, was the lack of potato. ONLY ONE SWEET POTATO?! But delicious over all.
Excellent flavor. I miss a green veg with my meal, but the cous cous with diced sweet potatoes was very good. I don't heat the oven hence the house in the summer, so we parboiled the sweet potato dices, then just finished them in the couscous pan. Diagonally sliced the meat and pan-seared then finished them in the sauce made as pan sauce from the meat.
I was not looking forward to this..pork .. blah.. couldn't have been more wrong.. sweet potatoes in the couscous.. so good and the pork was awesome.. tender and very flavorful plus the gravy was an added layer of flavor!! Bravo!
Really enjoyed this dish. The couscous is light and pairs well with the strong flavors of the pork seasoning and sauce. Would definitely pick this recipe again.
I've been a customer for several years and this meal is the best I've had! The couscous with sweet potato was so delicious! The meat was so tender I could cut with a fork and the seasoning was amazing! The sauce made it next level! I highly recommend it!
I never would have picked this one and it was amazing!! The flavors were incredible. The pork filet was perfect. Loved the couscous.
