Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, halve, peel, and dice onion into ½-inch pieces. Mince or grate garlic. Halve lemon. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Roughly chop cilantro. Toss onion and zucchini on one side of a second baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
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-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes total. Turn off heat.
Transfer pork to baking sheet with onion and zucchini. Roast on middle rack until veggies are tender and pork is cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Let pork rest 5 minutes after removing from oven. TIP: If veggies finish cooking first, remove from sheet and return pork to oven.
Meanwhile, heat pan used for pork over medium heat and add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and garlic. Once butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 1-2 minutes later, stir in demi-glace and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings), scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Season with pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
Divide potatoes, onion, and zucchini between plates. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over (to taste). Slice pork, then arrange on top of potatoes and veggies. Drizzle with pan sauce and garnish with cilantro.
