- Fish
- Soy

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 broccoli 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. • Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces 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 broccoli 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 broccoli is browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. • Once pork is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in 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.
• Thinly slice pork crosswise. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice, broccoli, and pork between plates. Top pork with pan sauce. Garnish everything with remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145º.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very easy prep in this recipe. Loved the thai chili sauce for the pork. Cilantro lime rice is always a hit in our house.
The sweet thai chili sauce was the standout of the meal. The rice was very good with any extra chili sauce on it.
As prepared by the recipe the meal was fine. I had one serving then made a wall with the pork to semi-enclose the sauce to one section of the pan and put the broccoli and the rest of the rice in for storage. Of course, a little of the sauce spills out, and when I reheated it, it was SOOOOO tasty!! like, 100x better than it was fresh.
Sauce was excellent! I'm a big fan of sweet Thai chili sauce. Cilantro lime rice is always a favorite, too. It was well-received by all who partook.
Fantastic cut of meat! Usually the pork cut is fatty & tough but the tenderloin cut was perfect! Love the broccoli & rice paired with it!
This was delicious. My son is picky & often likes the flavor of the sauces"gravies" so I put them on the side, otherwise this would have plated exactly as pictured! The flavor of the sweet chili sauce was on point, broccoli cooked exactly as stated, this one was perfect!
The thai chili sauce is out of this world!! I'm obsessed with the sauce. It's so rich, tasty with many flavors.
Stop serving rice. It comes out like paste, the zest is over done, and we end up throwing it away. Keep serving couscous or variations of potatoes. The chili sauce and the pork tenderloin were very tasty.
This was a very good meal. I really liked the sauce for the pork and love the roasted broccoli. Gives it great flavor. The jasmine rice is now my favorite rice!
Really good. I don't even like broccoli but made this way it was good. The reason for not giving 5 stars is because the rice needs more water than instructed. The first time I made a rice from HF I almost burned the rice because the water evaporated before the rice cooked through. I saved it by adding more water to the pan. Otherwise all good!
