Air Fryer Dry-rubbed Pork Tenderloin With Broccoli, Elderflower Gin Fizz, and The Lost Apothecary

Ingredients

For the Pork Tenderloin:

• 1 ½ to 2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• ½ tsp ground cumin

For the Broccoli:

• 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Pork Tenderloin:

• In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
• Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the dry rub mixture. Make sure the pork is well covered with the spices.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Pork Tenderloin:

• Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, turning the tenderloin halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
• The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the tenderloin from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Broccoli:

• While the pork is cooking, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• After removing the pork, place the seasoned broccoli florets in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.

Serve:

• Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and serve alongside the air-fried broccoli. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the broccoli, if desired, for a bright, fresh finish.
