Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until golden and tender.
- While potatoes roast, trim green beans. Peel and thinly slice onion. Zest and juice half the lemon; cut the other half into wedges for serving.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season all over with steak spice, salt and pepper. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Stir in beef stock concentrate and 1/4 cup water, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high. Add green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Squeeze lemon juice over the beans and toss.
- Serve pork chops with creamy pan sauce, roasted potatoes and lemony green beans. Garnish with lemon wedges.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after searing to keep them juicy.
Adjust the amount of steak spice to your taste preference.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of pork?

What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche are good substitutes for the creamy pan sauce.
How do I know when the pork chops are done?
Use an instant-read thermometer; pork is safe at 145°F. Let rest 3 minutes before serving.
