The pan sauce on tonight’s pork is sweeeet (and spicy). Our chefs combined sweet Thai chili sauce with ponzu, chicken stock, shallot, lime, and butter—a winning combination with pork tenderloin. You’ll prep fluffy zesty rice and crisp roasted green beans on the side. If this sounds like a meal fit for a restaurant-worthy night, that’s ‘cause it is (just in your PJs in the comfort of your own home!).

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.
• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of 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). Remove pan from heat. • Transfer pork to one side of a baking sheet.
• Toss green beans on opposite side of sheet from pork with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through and green beans are browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. • Once pork is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice crosswise.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook until softened and slightly browned, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, chili sauce, ponzu, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in a big squeeze of lime juice to taste. Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice, green beans, and pork between plates. Top pork with pan sauce. Garnish everything with remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I almost always buy a pork tenderloin dinner. Pork is oh so tender & juicy (unlike grocery store pork.) The Thai chili sauce was perfect & I loved the cilantro jasmine rice. I will purchase this every time it's offered.
I usually don't care for cilantro lime rice in a restaurant, but this was good. I don't think the green beans need to cook as long because I felt they were over done. Chili Thai sauce on the pork was very good.
The pork tenderloin was very tender and the sauce was delicious! I've never roasted green beans and we weren't a huge fan so we'll plan on doing something different with them next time but it was fun to try them prepared a different way!
Excellent! I had to cook the pork longer than the green beans. I would suggest butterflying the pork so it cooks quicker. The tenderloin was very thick. But delicious!
SO YUM! The sweet thai chili sauce was very good with the pork and paired nicely with the green beans.
Thai chili sauce has a bit of heat and a bit of sweet. My family gobbled up the pork tenderloin.
Pork was tender, Thai chili sauce nice accompaniment. Only negative is that the lime zest gave the rice unwanted bitterness.
Easily one of the best non-gourmet choices on here. So sweet and zesty and good ingredients. I do wish there were more green beans, but this is about as perfect as you can get of meal on this app.
Delicious! The pork turned out tender and the sauce was great. Loved the cilantro lime rice. Definitely a repeater.
The pork comes out so tender and the Thai sauce is sweet and spicy! Would prefer more variety in vegetables, green beans are so common in your meals with meat and rice.
