Turn oven on to 425°F. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes

If using filet mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary, if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

Quarter mushrooms.

Trim ends off green beans, if necessary, and halve.

Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until browned, 4-5 minutes on one side.

Remove from burner. Transfer chicken, seared side up, to a prepared baking sheet. Reserve pan, no need to wipe clean.

Roast in hot oven until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-12 minutes.

While chicken roasts, continue recipe.

Cook the vegetables:

Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat and add 2 tsp olive oil.

Add green beans, mushrooms, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir to combine.

Cover and reduce heat to medium. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes.

If green beans need more time, add 2 TBS water, cover, and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

Uncover and stir occasionally until liquid has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.

Remove from burner and stir in plain butter until coated. Cover and set aside.

Make the sauce:

Place a small pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 TBS water and cream cheese to hot pot. Bring to a simmer.

Prep: 10 Cook: 30

  • 10oz pork tenderloin
  • 12oz potatoes
  • 8oz green beans
  • 2TBS cream cheese
  • 1/8tsp garlic powder
  • 3TBS parmesan cheese
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • butter


Prep pork:

Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in the lower third. Cut each piece of pork horizontally (parallel to cutting board) almost completely in half. Open pork up like a book and place pork between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound each to an even ⅛-inch thickness.

Season pork:

Finely grate Parmesan, if necessary. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, half of the Parmesan, ⅛ tsp granulated garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper, mash with a fork until combined. Spread half of the mixture over one side of each piece of pork. Roll up and transfer, seam-sides down, to a plate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Roast potatoes & beans:

Scrub potatoes, then cut into ¼-inch thick wedges. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss with 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Roast on lower oven rack until just tender, 12–15 minutes. Trim ends from green beans. Remove baking sheet from oven; add green beans, and drizzle with oil, stirring gently to combine with roasted potatoes.

Brown pork:

Brush pork lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add pork; cook until browned in spots, 4–5 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet and top with remaining Parmesan. Roast on lower rack until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and beans are tender, 8–10 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate to rest.

Make sauce & serve:

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in same skillet over medium. Remove from heat and whisk in ⅛ teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 tablespoon each of water and vinegar, and 1 tablespoon butter until melted, season with salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Slice parmesan-stuffed pork, then spoon pan sauce over top. Serve with green beans and potatoes alongside. Enjoy!

Sausage, Caramelized Shallots, Apples, Green Beans & Baby Potatoes

Sausage, Caramelized Shallots, Apples, Green Beans & Baby Potatoes

Comments 0 Comment

Yield: 4 Servings

Adapted from: NY Times

In this rustic sheet-pan dinner, apples, green beans and shallots roast slowly alongside pork sausage, becoming fragrant and caramelized in the process. A quick toss with whole-grain mustard and apple cider vinegar adds a savory edge, making the apple and shallot mixture almost reminiscent of chutney. This recipe works equally well with both sweet and hot pork sausage, as well as any crisp apples, though a mix of red and green apples looks particularly nice.

Note: Updated to add potatoes and green beans to make this a complete meal.

  • 6shallots, trimmed on both ends and peeled (about 6 oz)
  • 2crisp apples (preferably one tart, like Granny Smith, and one sweet, like Fuji)
  • 12oz baby potatoes
  • 8oz fresh green beans
  • 1TBS olive oil, plus more as needed
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1lb sweet or hot Italian sausages
  • 3fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1tsp whole-grain mustard
  • 1-2tsp apple cider vinegar, to taste
  • chopped fresh parsley, for serving 


Prep:

Heat the oven to 425°F.

Cut the shallots lengthwise into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Core the apples and cut into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Trim the green beans.

Place the shallots, apples and potatoes on a sheet pan, drizzle with the 1 TBS olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

Roast the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, until the shallots are just starting to brown at the edges.

Meanwhile, place the sausages on a plate. Using a fork, prick a few holes in each sausage. Drizzle the sausages with olive oil and toss to coat.

Add the green beans, rosemary and mustard to the pan with the shallots, apples and potatoes, and toss, spreading everything out into one even layer.

Arrange the sausages on the pan, evenly distributed, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the apples and shallots with the juices released from the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked to 160°F and the shallots are tender and caramelized.

Transfer the sausages to a serving platter and discard the rosemary sprigs.

Pour the vinegar over the shallots, apples and potatoes, and toss well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

Transfer to the serving platter with the sausages, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately with Dijon mustard on the side.
