Step 1
Pat pork dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Toss carrots with oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Spread in a single layer.
Step 3
Heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it foams. Sear pork 2 minutes per side without moving — edges should look opaque and crispy.
Step 4
Add apple cider, mustard, and thyme to the skillet. Slide pork to the side and tilt to simmer the sauce, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
While the sauce simmers, roast carrots at 450°F for 15 minutes until they blister and caramelize.
Step 6
Transfer pork to plates alongside carrots. Pour the pan sauce over top and serve immediately.
