Start the vegetables

Cook the pork
- Meanwhile, pat the pork dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.

- Reduce to medium-low and cook, 6 to 10 min., until cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest before slicing.
Finish the vegetables

- Roast, 4 min., until browned.
Make the sauce
