Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 count boneless pork chops (6 oz each)
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1½ lb fresh green beans
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
Steps
- Toss green beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper on a sheet pan; roast at 425°F for 18 minutes.
- While beans roast, pat pork chops dry, season with salt and pepper, and chop strawberries into quarters.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; sear pork chops 5–6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F, then set aside to rest 3 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and rosemary; simmer 3 minutes until sauce thickens, then spoon over rested pork chops.
- Divide pork chops, sauce, and roasted green beans among four plates and serve.
- Picky eater tip: serve the pork chop and green beans plain, with the strawberry sauce on the side.
- Make ahead: trim the green beans, mince the garlic and quarter the strawberries up to a day ahead and store them covered in the fridge.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
