So Tender!

This marinated tenderloin is tender, flavorful, and satisfying, and the meal features roasted celeriac rather than potatoes – always amazing and a great way to change things up.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Place the pork rounds, salt, pepper, garlic granules, olive oil, honey, lime juice and zest, chili flakes, and chopped cilantro into a large bowl. Toss to combine until the pork is evenly coated, then set aside and let the pork marinate while the celeriac is in the oven.

Step 2

Set the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment. Place the celeriac cubes into a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of garlic granules and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss until the celeriac is evenly coated then turn the cubes onto the baking sheet in a single layer and pop them into the oven for 35 – 45 minutes, until they are tender and golden. Roasting time will vary depending on the size of the cubes.

Step 3

Once the celeriac is in the oven give the pork a stir and get the tomato salad going.

Place all salad ingredients into a bowl and mix until evenly combined. Set aside.

When there are about 10 minutes remaining for the celeriac place a large cast iron pan over medium high heat. When the pan is good and hot add the pork rounds in a single layer along with any excess marinate left in the bowl and cook the pork for 5 -6 minutes per side until it is crispy on the edges and cooked through to an internal temperature of at least 145°.

Step 4

When everything is done share the salad greens over 4 plates. Serve the tomato salad over the greens and share the pork and roasted celeriac along side, then sit down and enjoy the fabulous savory flavors of tonight’s amazing dinner!
