Roast the pork & vegetables
Place the diced potatoes and carrot pieces on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer around the edges of the sheet pan. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and the quatre épices; turn to coat. Transfer to the center of the sheet pan of seasoned vegetables. Roast 26 to 30 minutes (or medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until the pork is cooked to your desired degree of doneness* and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Carefully transfer the roasted pork to a cutting board. Let rest at least 5 minutes.

Prepare the foil packet
Meanwhile, place a medium piece of foil on a work surface. On one side of the foil, place the diced pear, butter, hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Fold the foil in half over the pear. Fold the three open edges inwards to completely seal the packet.

Roast the pear
Transfer the prepared foil packet to a separate sheet pan. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pear is softened. Remove from the oven. Carefully open the foil packet of roasted pear; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Slice the pork & serve your dish
Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested pork; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted vegetables. Top the pork with the roasted pear. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
