Skillet Pork Sirloin & Green Beans
30 minute weeknight dinners are a must during this crazy time of year! Today’s Skillet Pork Sirloin & Green Beans recipe delivers on flavor, but requires little time & effort on a busy evening.
Servings 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 2 lb boneless pork sirloin roast sliced
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
Instructions
- Slice the pork into 8 roughly equal pieces — It’s OK that the pork chops on the end will end up a little smaller. Wash and trim the green beans.
- Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl, then use about half of the spice mixture to season one side of the pork.
- Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted.
- Add the sliced pork to the pan in a single layer, seasoned side down. Use the rest of the spice mix to season the other side of the pork chops.
- Cook the pork over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through, being careful not to overcook. Remove your finished pork chops from the pan onto a separate plate.
- Let the pork rest on the plate while you add the green beans to the same skillet and cook them in the pan juices over medium-high heat for 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
- Serve your pan-seared pork chops with their side of green beans. (These both also go really well with mashed potatoes, as shown here.)
Notes
If you have the thinner French green beans, they will need less time in the pan — or, cook your green beans a little longer if you don’t prefer them crisp-tender. Thicker slices of pork might need more time– I had to give one of mine an extra minute after removing all of the others from the skillet. You can also make this recipe with pre-packaged boneless pork chops.
