DIFFICULTY:
Easy
PREP TIME:
5 minutes
COOK TIME:
5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 clove garlic crushed
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp ground coriander (cilantro)
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • sea salt and ground black pepper
  • 125 ml orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 400 g lean pork sizzle steaks
  • tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups broccoli and cauliflower steamed
  • 2 cups low GI rice cooked

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine pork, orange juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Mix well in the fridge to marinade for at least one hour.  
  • Take out pork fillets and place on a plate. Reserve the marinade.
  • Heat ½ Tbsp olive oil on a barbecue plate or a large non-stick pan and cook pork fillets for approximately 1.5 minutes without turning. Brush with marinade. Turn pork over and cook for another minute, brushing with marinade (you may need to cook in 2 batches). Place pork on a plate and cover with foil to rest for a two minutes. Pour the remaining marinade in the pan and bring to the boil. This will make a delicious sauce for the vegetables and rice.
  • Serve pork with one cup of steamed vegetables and ½ cup cooked low GI rice per person. Spoon over remaining sauce.
