• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Strip thyme leaves from stems; chop leaves until you have 2 tsp (4 tsp for 4 servings). Halve, peel, and finely chop shallot.

• Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, half the chopped thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Toss carrots on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until tender and crisp, 20-25 minutes.

• While veggies roast, pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). • Transfer to a second baking sheet. Reserve pan. **Swap in chicken or beef for pork. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook beef to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.**

• Roast pork on middle rack until cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest. Thinly slice pork crosswise. **Skip this step for chicken or beef!**

• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add shallot and remaining chopped thyme. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, vinegar, jam, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until thick and saucy, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. **Use pan used for chicken or beef here.**

• Divide potatoes, carrots, and pork between plates. Drizzle pan sauce over pork and serve. **Thinly slice chicken or beef against the grain.** ***Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
