Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot and potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into 1cm chunks. • Place veggies on lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays. TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. • In a medium bowl, combine Aussie spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork loin steaks, turning to coat. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded. • Set aside on a plate, cover and rest for 5 minutes. TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, a splash of water and any pork resting juices and mix well. Cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl.
• To the tray with roasted veggies, add baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of vinegar. • Toss to combine and season to taste. Little cooks: Help add the spinach to the tray. Be careful, the tray is hot!
• Slice pork. • Divide roast veggie toss and Aussie pork between plates. • Spoon caramelised onion over pork. • Serve with creamy pesto dressing. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by spooning the caramelised onion over the pork!
