Pork Tenderloin In Wine and Garlic Sauce

Serves 2

You are going to need to “multitask” the carb. and veggie while you do the pork. A salad made before you start the pork recipe and potatoes nuked in the microwave are the easiest. Or maybe you have something leftover in the fridge from another day that could be heated up.
1 small pork tenderloin
Cracked Black Pepper
Salt
3/4 Cup any dry red wine i.e. Chianti, cabernet, sangiovese, etc.4 Large Garlic Cloves 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Butter

Turn oven on to just “warm” setting or as low on the temperature dial as it will go. Less then 200 if poss.

Mince the garlic then mash it with side of the knife. Set aside in a small bowl.Cut the pork into ½ - ¾ inch slices. Cover with the cracked pepper and press the pepper onto the pork so the meat is crusted with the pepper. Add the olive oil to a frying pan, and cook the pork over high heat, until it is cooked. It should be on the firm side, but not like a hockey puck.. Put on a platter or plate and put in the oven to keep warm while we make the sauce. . Add the wine, the garlic and the butter to the pan drippings and cook until the wine has reduced by more than half and has become thickened. Serve the pork medallions on a platter with the sauce spooned on top.

SERVE IT UP!! With the carb., veggie, some good crusty Italian bread and the rest of
