What Do You Need to Make Keto Pork Tenderloin Cabbage Skillet?
- Large heavy high sided skillet. Cast iron is perfect, but you can use any heavy skillet.
- One pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
- One head of green cabbage
- 1 onion
- olive oil
- soy sauce
Tips for Making the Pork and Cabbage Skillet
- You can use a couple of shallots instead of the onion. They are lower in carbs and more intense in flavor so you can use less and save on carbs.
- Don’t overcook the pork medallions, they are most succulent and moist when cooked a bit pink inside. Don’t worry, the USDA has given this the official ok, it is safe to eat pork with pink in the middle. A temp of 145-160 is perfectly fine if you are one that measures.
