Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Trim green beans if necessary; toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, strip rosemary leaves from stems; finely chop leaves until you have 1 teaspoon (2 teaspoons for 4 servings). Pat pork dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer pork to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.
3. Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped rosemary; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in stock concentrate, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings), and 2 teaspoons sugar (4 teaspoons for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Season generously with pepper. Turn off heat. Stir in half the garlic herb butter until melted (you’ll use the rest in the next step).
4. Halve baguette lengthwise and toast; spread cut sides with remaining garlic herb butter. Season with salt and pepper. Halve on a diagonal. Thinly slice pork. Divide pork, garlic bread, and green beans between plates. Top pork with balsamic rosemary pan sauce and serve.
