From the Test Kitchen

For incredible depth of flavor in this dish, you’ll create a pan sauce that combines tangy shallot, savory soy sauce, brown sugar, and punchy balsamic vinegar using the fond from searing the pork roast. It’s all served over a hearty bed of farro, roasted broccoli, and piquant peppers for bursts of brightness in every bite.

Pat the pork dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season on all sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Rub the seasonings onto the pork. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to one side of the sheet pan. Roast 10 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.
