Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Cut the potato into bite-sized chunks. Slice the capsicum into thick strips. Place the prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the veggies are roating, combine the garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Add the pork loin steaks, turning to coat.
Thinly slice the red onion. In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Wash out the frying pan, then return to a medium-high heat with drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the pork steaks and cook until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to rest.
TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.
Transfer the roasted veggies to a large bowl. Add the basil pesto and baby spinach leaves. Season, then toss to combine.
Thinly slice the pork. Divide the pesto spinach veggies between plates and top with the pork. Spoon over any resting juices from the pork. Serve topped with the caramelised onions.
