Name: Seared Pork Tenderloin with Charred Corn and Black Bean Salad
Prep time: 12 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 32 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1 pork tenderloin (12–14 oz); Sea salt and black pepper; 2 tbsp neutral oil; 1 tbsp unsalted butter; 2 ears fresh corn, kernels cut from the cob; 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed; 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced; 1 ripe avocado; Juice of 2 limes; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 1 garlic clove, minced; Pinch of cumin; Fleur de sel for finishing

A whole pork tenderloin gets a hard sear on all sides until mahogany, then a brief rest while you char fresh corn and fold it into black beans with avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Slice the pork into medallions, lay them over the salad, and dress with a bright lime vinaigrette—a confident salad that teaches proper sear technique and how to rest meat.
