Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet; roast 20-25 minutes total.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the green beans then).
• Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and add green beans to a second baking sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack until potatoes are golden brown and green beans are tender, 12-15 minutes more.
• While veggies roast, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt, then coat with as much Steak Spice as will stick. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: If crust begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat another drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Season generously with pepper.
• Toss green beans with lemon zest. • Divide pork, potatoes, and green beans between plates. Spoon sauce over pork. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
These were so good. The seasoning blend was delicious with just a hint of heat. The shallot pan sauce elevated it to a restaurant quality meal. The lemony green beans were a nice refreshing balance to the rich flavors of the pork chops.
I did add garlic and onion powder, paprika and red pepper to the potatoes. Was nervous about the green pork chop seasoning but it was very good and the creamy shallot pan sauce was great! I only lightly wiped out the excess oil from the pork chop pan so that the fond would be included in the sauce.
These were really good. We loved the green beans and made them again the next night with green beans and a lemon we had on hand. The HelloFresh ones were better which I attribute to the better quality of the green beans we received vs the ones from the grocery store. I really liked the sauce and thought it added a lot to the pork chops. And who doesn't like potatoes with oil and salt?!?!
I was a little skeptical with this one as I don't really like sour cream, but once I mixed everything together it really brought the sauce together. Didn't use the lemon zest but used the lemon juice on top of the green beans and potatoes and it really came together. Thought the seasoning would be too much since I completely covered the pork chop but after it is cooked and rested, all the juices came together and it was very yummy and juicy.
By far, my favorite recipe so far!! The chops were fork tender with the most mouth-watering sauce drizzled on top. The potatoes and green beans rounded out the meal perfectly.
This recipe was delicious! It had so much flavor and I loved the crunch the seasoning made on top of the chop. The sauce was yummy too (I added fresh garlic to it). The green beans were good, fresh and crisp. I will be picking this one again.
The beans were very good with lemon zest, even though I had to trim the beans on both ends to get rid of spoilage (six days after receiving box). The potato quality was excellent, as always. The pan sauce was surprisingly uninteresting and unappealing, even with the steakhouse spices. I was pleased that HelloFresh brined the pork chops but still, the whole porkchop plus seasoning plus sauce was only meh. We made four chops. One leftover has been sitting in the refrigerator for days because nobody finds it interesting.
The pork chops were so tender they melted in my mouth. The shallot sauce was excellent and combined with the flavor of the pork and steakhouse seasoning the pork chops blew me away. I thought the sides were totally lacking in flavor, however.
I think the star in this recipe is the quality of the pork chops. They were a fantastic cut. Also, the shallot Pan Sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the meat.
Such a nice flavor with the citrusy green beans and the pork chops. I was so pleased with this dish, especially since I don't normally like green beans.
