Fry the pork fillets in olive oil for a total of 5 minutes each side, first searing it.
Boil the broccoli florets in 100 ml of boiling water for 3 minutes then drain.

Notes:
Pork fillet served with broccoli is a low-carb high protein meal ideal for anyone trying to maintain muscle or lose weight. Broccoli is high in fibre and beneficial compounds that protect against cancer and aid in hormone detoxification. The delicious mushroom sauce makes it extra decadent and is so easy to make. You can add some crushed garlic to the sauce when you add the port. During the week we prefer to cook light, quick, high protein and low-carb meals, and this is a firm favourite in our house. Mushrooms are high in vitamin B and beta glucans, which is beneficial for gut health and gut bacteria.
