Honey Thyme Pork Tenderloin
with Roasted Potatoes & Broccoli
Yield: 2
ROASTED BROCCOLI – Roasting is one of our favorite ways to add depth (and crispiness!) to this classic green veg.
Whisk together the stock concentrates, honey, and water directly in a liquid measuring cup. This will save the trouble of opening packets and measuring when the cooking is underway.
Prep: 10 Cook: 30
- 12oz potatoes
- 8oz broccoli florets
- 2tsp honey
- 10oz pork tenderloin
- 1clove garlic
- 1tsp dried thyme
- 2oz chicken stock concentrates
- salt & pepper
- 1tsp olive oil
- 1TBS cooking oil
- 1TBS butter
Roast potatoes:
Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Sear pork & prep:
While potatoes roast, pat pork dry with paper towels, season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4- to 8-minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and mince half the garlic.
Once pork is browned, transfer to one side of a second baking sheet. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. (No need to transfer to a baking sheet!)
Toss broccoli:
Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on opposite side of baking sheet from pork. Spread broccoli out across entire baking sheet.
Roast pork & broccoli:
Transfer sheet with pork and broccoli to middle rack, roast until pork is cooked through and broccoli is tender, 12-15 minutes.
Once pork is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest. Thinly slice crosswise.
Make sauce:
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add minced garlic and thyme, cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Stir in stock concentrates, honey, and ¼ cup water. Simmer, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until sauce has reduced and thickened, 2- to 3-minutes.
Stir in 1 TBS butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in a splash or two of water.
Serve:
Divide pork, broccoli, and potatoes between plates. Drizzle pork with sauce and serve.
