Serves 4-6
Ingredients:

  • 1 Smithfield Mesquite Pork Filet
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 2 cups frozen lima beans, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme or 2 tablespoons fresh thyme

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Season the Smithfield Mesquite Pork Filet with salt and pepper, then sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Add the corn kernels, lima beans, and thyme to the skillet.
Toss well and bake until the corn develops nice color and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and take out the pork to rest on a cutting board.
