Prep: 10 Cook: 35

  • 12oz potatoes
  • TBS 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.
