Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to middle and top positions. Preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper, keeping them on one half. Roast on middle rack for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat pork tenderloin dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6-8 minutes. While pork cooks, mince garlic.
- After potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. Toss potatoes and push to one side. Add green beans to the other side; toss with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Return to oven and roast until veggies are tender, 10-12 minutes more.
- Transfer browned pork to a second baking sheet. Roast on top rack until desired doneness, 8-12 minutes.
- 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 (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. If glaze is too thick, add a splash of water.
- Let pork rest 2-3 minutes after removing from oven, then thinly slice. Divide pork, green beans and potatoes among plates. Drizzle pork with glaze and serve.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, cut potatoes into uniform ½-inch pieces.
Let the pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
If the glaze becomes too thick, thin with a little water.
