Preparation
Start the pork
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the pork dry; season with S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until seared.
- Transfer to a lined sheet pan, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, juice the lemon.
- Remove the bottom inch of the broccolini stems; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
Finish the pork & roast the broccolini
- Add the broccolini to the sheet pan of pork.
- Transfer to the oven and roast, turning halfway, 8 to 12 min., until the pork* is cooked through and the broccolini is tender.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let the pork rest before slicing.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pan, heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the garlic and capers. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, ½ the lemon juice, ⅓ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 4 min., until thickened.
- Off the heat, add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Make the salad & serve
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the lettuce and broccolini; toss well.
- Divide the salad between your plates.
- Top with the pork and spoon the sauce over. Bon appétit!
