Hot Honey Butter-Glazed Pork

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

   Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the tomatoes. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; halve crosswise. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, demi-glace, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the hot sauce as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

2. Cook & mash the potatoes

   Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add half the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3. Cook the vegetables

   Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic, halved tomatoes, and halved green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

4. Cook the pork & serve your dish

   Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 4 minutes. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and remaining butter. Cook, frequently spooning the glaze over the pork, 1 to 2 minutes (the center may still be slightly pink), or until the pork is coated and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked pork (including any glaze from the pan) with the mashed potatoes and cooked vegetables. Enjoy!
