Pork tenderloin scaloppine with white wine-thyme sauce

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Pork tenderloins; about 10-14 ounces each
⅓ cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Each: salt; freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons Olive oil
2 Shallots; finely chopped, about 1/4 cup
2 Cloves garlic; minced
½ medium Tomato; finely chopped, about 1/2 cup
½ cup White wine
¼ cup Chopped fresh thyme or fresh basil or oregano
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter; optional
Salt; freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cut each tenderloin into 4 cylindrical pieces, about 3 inches long.

Place one piece of the meat between two pieces of wax paper, cut side down.

Pound meat firmly with meat mallet or saute pan, until meat is a uniform ½-inch thickness. (If tail end piece is very tapered, set it small end down on plastic wrap, slice vertically halfway down piece, then cover with plastic and flatten.) Repeat with remaining pork pieces. 2. Combine flour, salt and pepper in shallow bowl; mix well. Coat pork pieces with flour mixture, shaking to remove excess. 3. Heat oil over medium high heat in large saute pan until hot but not smoking. Add pork scaloppines, and saute until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove; set aside. 4. Add shallots and garlic to saute pan; stir constantly, 15 seconds. Add tomatoes. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Add wine; cook, stirring, 3 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in thyme, basil or oregano and butter if using, and adjust seasoning. 5. Place pork scaloppines on serving platter. Top meat with some of the sauce, passing any remaining sauce.
