Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 3 medium Bell peppers (various colors)
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of pork tenderloin into 1-inch medallions. In a bowl, combine the medallions with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Toss to coat the pork evenly.
  2. 2Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  3. 3Carefully place the seasoned pork medallions into the hot skillet. Sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and place it on a clean plate, setting it aside.
  4. 4Add the 3 medium bell peppers, sliced, and the 1 medium onion, sliced, to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  5. 5Add the 3 cloves of garlic, minced, to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  6. 6Pour the 1 cup of almond milk into the skillet. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast until it is well combined with the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. 7Return the seared pork medallions to the skillet with the sauce and vegetables. Reduce the heat to medium-low, about 300°F (150°C). Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. 8Serve the Dairy-Free Keto Spanish Pork with Peppers and 'Creamy' Sauce immediately.
