Steps

1. Bring broth to a boil in a small pot, then stir in couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let sit until tender, about 8 minutes.
2. Pat pork tenderloin dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the pork for 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then slice into half-inch pieces.
4. Add mini peppers to the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender. Return pork to the pan to warm through, then serve over couscous.
