Preparation
Roast the carrots
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 18 to 20 min., until tender.
Cook the pork
- Meanwhile, pat the pork dry; season with all but a pinch of 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.
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest before slicing.
Make the gravy
- In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch, demi-glace, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and remaining spices.
- In the reserved pan, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the peas and sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.
- Reduce to medium-low and add the cornstarch mixture. Simmer, stirring often, 30 sec. to 2 min., until the sauce thickens; season with black pepper.
Plate your dish
- Divide the carrots and pork between your plates.
- Top with the gravy and cheese curds. Bon appétit!
