Prep: 10 Cook: 35
- 12oz potatoes
- 1½TBS sour cream
- 1oz beef stock concentrate
- 1yellow onion
- 1lemon
- 25-oz pork chops
- 1TBS bold & savory steak spice (see below)
- 8oz broccoli florets
- 2tsp cooking oil
- 2tsp butter
Prep:
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce.
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and mince half the onion and slice the other half. Zest and quarter lemon.
Roast potatoes:
Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper
Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add the broccoli then).
Roast broccoli:
Once potatoes have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven.
Carefully toss onion slices into center of pan with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Carefully toss broccoli on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Return to top rack until potatoes are golden-brown and broccoli is tender, 15-20 minutes more.
Cook pork:
While veggies roast, pat pork dry with paper towels, tenderize both sides of pork with a jaccard, season all over with salt, then coat with as much Steak Spice as will stick.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.
Tip: If crust begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
Turn off heat, transfer pork to a cutting board. Wipe out pan. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
Make sauce:
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium heat. Add minced onion, cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until combined. Season generously with pepper.
Finish & serve:
Toss broccoli with lemon zest.
Thinly slice pork crosswise.
Divide pork, potatoes, onion slices and broccoli between plates. Spoon pan sauce over pork. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
