Preparation
Roast the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces on an angle. On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) and zucchini with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring and adding the cheese halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Cook the pork
Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through.
Make the sauce & coat the pork
To the pan of pork, add the vinegar, demi-glace and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, spooning the sauce over the pork, 1 to 2 min., until coated.
Plate your dish
Divide the vegetables and pork (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the pork. Bon appétit!
