Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs pork sirloin, sliced into 1/2-inch thick medallions
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter

- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat the pork sirloin slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the pork slices in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.

Keto Sliced Pork Sirloin with Avocado

For a quick weeknight keto dinner, seared sliced pork sirloin paired with creamy avocado hits the spot. Lean but tender, pork sirloin benefits from high-heat cooking and a simple seasoning. This no-fuss recipe is ready in under 20 minutes.
Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 8 minutes
Ingredients
Pork & Seasoning
- 1 lb pork sirloin, sliced into 1/2-inch medallions
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Avocado Topping
- 1 large ripe avocado, halved and sliced
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Pat the pork sirloin medallions dry with paper towels. Moisture prevents browning, so be thorough.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the pork.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. For best sear, oil should coat the pan evenly.
- Place the pork medallions in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side without moving them. A golden-brown crust forms when you resist the urge to flip early.
- Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. This ensures juicy, tender meat.
- Transfer the pork to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes. Resting redistributes juices; cutting too soon makes them run out.
- While the pork rests, prepare the avocado: gently toss slices with lime juice and cilantro. Lime adds acidity to balance the richness.
- Arrange the pork medallions on plates and top with the avocado mixture. Drizzle any pan juices over the pork for extra flavor.
Another option: slice the rested pork into thin strips and pile it over a bed of greens, then add avocado and a drizzle of olive oil. The lime-accented avocado cuts through the savory meat, while the seared crust delivers a satisfying crunch. Perfect for a low-carb lunch or dinner.
