Recipe
Preheat oven to 425F.
Pat each pork ribeye with a paper towel to dry and let seasonings adhere.
Season each pork ribeye with salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder (to your liking and taste preference).
Slather both sides of each pork ribeye with a layer of the adobo peppers and sauce - A little goes a long way! (Reserve some sauce for your broccoli)
Add oil to your cast-iron pan and heat on high, until it is smoking. Place your pork ribeyes in your pan in an even layer (to achieve a nice sear), browning one side for 2 minutes, flipping and browning the other side for 1 minute.
Place cast-iron pan (with the pork in it) in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes (or until your internal probe thermometer reaches 150F).
Once the pork is done, take out of the cast-iron pan to rest on a cutting board.
Next, take a large skillet and heat with olive oil. Add in fresh broccoli, seasoning with salt and garlic powder. Add additional olive oil as needed.
While cooking, add 1 tbsp of the canned adobo sauce and peppers. Sauté until cooked through, adjusting seasonings to your preference.
Serve your pork ribeye either slice or whole, with a portion of broccoli.
Garnish pork with chopped cilantro.
