Step 1

Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 6 pieces. Place each piece cut side down between pieces of plastic wrap and starting at the center pound to a 1/4 inch thickness with a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the orange zest, orange, ginger, sesame oil, broth, honey, and cornstarch into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Select Variable 1. Turn the machine on and slowly increase the speed to Variable 10, then to High. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate.

Step 4

Add the bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Return the pork to the skillet. Pour the orange mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is bubbling and thickened and the pork is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the pork topped with the sauce and scallions.
