Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 2 (1
• inch thick) pork loin steaks
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
• 1 head of cauliflower, riced
• 4 tablespoons grass
• fed butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Combine paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork loin steaks and let them marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a lined baking sheet and roast for 25 30 minutes, or until tender. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add riced cauliflower, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the cauliflower is tender and the butter is fully incorporated. Stir in chopped parsley. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Sear the spice rubbed pork loin steaks for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the pork loin steak alongside roasted butternut squash and cauliflower mash.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the spice rub to marinate the pork loin steaks for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor infusion.

Notes

Use grass-fed butter for a healthier and more sustainable option.
