    Sauteed Cabbage

  • Green cabbage, shredded
  • 1-2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon EVOO
  • A splash of water
  • Kosher salt & black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Combine cajun seasoning, EVOO, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Slather on the marinade onto the pork tenderloin and let marinate for at least 24 hours.

  2. Bring pork tenderloin to room temperature, at least one hour.

  3. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  4. On medium-high heat, drizzle EVOO in an oven safe pan like a cast iron, sear pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes each side. The goal is not to fully cook the pork at this stage, just get a good sear on it.

  5. Place in oven and cook until 145 degrees internal, about 25 minutes.

  6. Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes so juices can redistribute throughout.

  7. In a non stick pan on medium heat, add EVOO to the pan, add cabbage, and season with kosher salt and black pepper.

  8. Let cabbage sautee and whittle it down, about 3 minutes. Add adobo seasoning and toss together.

  9. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
