1/4 tsp salt

Cut pork into 12-1 inch thick slices. Sprinkle pork on all sides with 1/8 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Heat 1 tsp oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork, cook turning once, until pork is browned and internal temperature reaches 145F about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer pork to a platter and keep warm. Add remaining oil to skillet. Add garlic and cook stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant about 30 seconds. Add wine and broth.
