Preparation
Roast the potatoes & beets
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) in a small bowl to soften. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). Peel and halve the beets; cut into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss the potatoes and beets with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the woody ends of the asparagus; cut crosswise into thirds on an angle. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise. To the bowl of softened butter, add the caramelized onions, ½ the scallions and S&P.
Cook the asparagus
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the asparagus and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Reserve the pan.
Cook the pork
Pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In the reserved 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. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the salad
To the bowl of asparagus, add the mustard, vinegar, remaining scallions, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the potatoes and beets.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad and pork between your plates. Top the pork with the compound butter. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
