Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin (about 1 large)
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup 35% cream
1 -1 1/2 cup fresh tomato, chopped (about 2)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded
parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Cut pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions; sprinkle with a pinch each salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl to coat pan. Brown pork, turning once, for about 1 minute per side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add garlic, prosciutto and sage to pan and sauté for about 2 minutes or until prosciutto starts to brown. Add vinegar and boil, scraping up bits stuck to pan. Stir in cream; bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, ,until sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Stir in pork with any accumulated juices and tomatoes. Simmer, stirring and turning pork once, for about 5 minutes or just until a hint of pink remains in pork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with basil and Parmesan cheese.
  • COOKING TIP: Choose the ripest tomatoes possible for the best flavor. Often plum (Roma) or grape tomatoes have better flavor when regular ones are out of season.
