Instructions

1. Adjust oven racks to top and middle positions and preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. On one side of a baking sheet, toss potatoes with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on the middle rack until lightly browned and tender, 20–25 minutes total (you’ll add green beans after 10 minutes).
2. Meanwhile, pat pork tenderloin 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 and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6–8 minutes (it will finish cooking in the oven). While pork cooks, trim green beans if needed. Peel and mince garlic.
3. After potatoes have roasted for 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully toss the potatoes, keeping them on one side. On the empty side, toss green beans with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Return the sheet to the middle rack and roast until vegetables are tender, 10–12 minutes more.
4. Transfer the browned pork to a second baking sheet. Roast on the top rack until the pork is cooked through, 8–12 minutes.
5. Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan used for the pork over medium heat. Add 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 any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the sauce reduces by half, 3–4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water.
6. Thinly slice the pork crosswise. Divide the pork, green beans, and potatoes among plates. Drizzle the pork with the sauce and serve.
