Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin (trimmed)
1.5 pound broccoli florets
2 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tablespoon orange juice (freshly squeezed)
2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick medallions. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ground allspice, and cayenne pepper.
Toss the pork medallions with the spice mixture to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for 5 minutes while preparing broccoli.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork medallions and pan-sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from skillet and keep warm.
Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove lid and sauté for 1-2 minutes until any remaining water evaporates.
Divide the pork and broccoli into 4 portions and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for optimal tenderness and safety. Using fresh citrus juice adds brightness and avoids excess sodium.
