Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Trim the ends off the green beans. Mince the garlic clove.
- On the prepared baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 2 teaspoons of cooking oil, salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the pork tenderloin all over with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- After the potatoes have roasted for 10 minutes, add the green beans to the baking sheet, drizzle with a little oil and salt and toss. Return to the oven and roast everything for another 10-12 minutes, until potatoes are tender and beans are crisp-tender.
- While the vegetables finish roasting, prepare the pan sauce. Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken stock concentrate, honey and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the butter until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions. Serve the pork alongside the roasted potatoes and green beans and spoon the honey thyme pan sauce over everything.
Recipe Tips
For even cooking, let the pork tenderloin sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before searing.
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the pork to a plate and make the sauce in the same skillet after searing.
Feel free to swap green beans for asparagus or broccoli if desired.
FAQ
Can I use fresh thyme instead of dried?
Yes, substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves for the 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
How do I know when the pork is cooked through?
Pork tenderloin is safe to eat at 145°F (63°C). Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part. Let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
Can I prepare this meal ahead of time?
The vegetables can be chopped a day in advance. Cook the pork and sauce just before serving for best texture.
