Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions and preheat to 450°F. 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, until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, pat pork tenderloin 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, 4-8 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and mince half the garlic (use all for 4 servings). Once pork is browned, transfer to one side of a second baking sheet.
- Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if needed. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on the opposite side of the baking sheet from the pork.
- Transfer the sheet with pork and broccoli to the middle rack; roast until pork is cooked through and broccoli is tender, 12-15 minutes. (Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°F.) Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest, then thinly slice crosswise.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan used for pork over medium heat. Add minced garlic and dried thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in chicken stock concentrates, honey and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom, until sauce reduces and thickens, 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter (2 for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce seems too thick, stir in a splash of water.
- Divide sliced pork, broccoli and roasted potatoes among plates. Drizzle pork with the honey thyme sauce and serve.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, cut potatoes into uniform ½-inch dice.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
If the pan sauce thickens too much, thin it with a little water.
FAQ
Can I use fresh thyme instead of dried?
Yes, substitute 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves for the dried thyme. Add it with the garlic.
How do I know when the pork is done?
The pork is fully cooked when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reaches 145°F.
Can I prepare any components ahead?
You can dice the potatoes and cut the broccoli a day ahead. Store them in the refrigerator in sealed bags.
