A little honey in the marinade helps these cutlets caramelize guaranteeing they'll be nicely browned despite the super-short cooking time.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 5 minutes
    •    Cook time: 25 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •   1¼ pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), fat trimmed to ¼ inch, cut into 4 pieces
    •   Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    •   2 garlic cloves, finely grated
    •   1½ teaspoons finely grated peeled turmeric or ½ ground turmeric
    •   ½ cup plain whole-milk yogurt
    •   ¼ cup honey
    •   2 tbsps (or more) fresh lemon juice, divided
    •   2 tbsps vegetable oil
    •   3 small beets, scrubbed, thinly sliced
    •   3 small carrots, preferably with tops, tops reserved, carrots scrubbed, cut on a diagonal
    •   2 tbsps finely chopped fresh chives
    •   2 tbsps olive oil
    •   Flaky sea salt

Method

1. Pound pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to ¼" thick; season with kosher salt and pepper. Whisk garlic, turmeric, yogurt, honey, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Place cutlets in a large resealable bag. Add yogurt mixture, seal bag, and toss to coat. Let sit at least 10 minutes.
2. Remove cutlets from marinade, letting excess drip off. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high; cook 2 cutlets until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a platter. Wipe out skillet; repeat with remaining cutlets and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil.
3. Toss beets, carrots, carrot tops (if using), chives, olive oil, and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with kosher salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Serve pork topped with salad and sprinkled with sea salt.
