Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel and mince half the onion (whole onion for 4). Zest and quarter lemon.
- Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet; roast on top rack for 20-25 minutes total.) Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add the broccoli then).
- Once potatoes have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and add broccoli to a second baking sheet; roast on middle rack.) Return to top rack until potatoes are golden brown and broccoli is tender, 15-20 minutes more.
- While veggies roast, pat pork dry with paper towels; 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.
- 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 (⅓ cup for 4 servings). 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.
- Toss broccoli with lemon zest. Thinly slice pork crosswise. Divide pork, potatoes and broccoli between plates. Spoon pan sauce over pork. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Recipe Tips
Pat the pork dry before seasoning to help the spice stick and ensure a good sear.
If the steak spice starts to burn, reduce the heat to medium.
For extra lemony flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the broccoli before serving.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of meat?
Yes, you can substitute pork chops or even beef steak. Adjust cooking time as needed.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche work well as substitutes for sour cream in the pan sauce.
How do I reheat leftovers?
Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to keep the potatoes crispy. The sauce can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
