Lean pork tenderloin is pounded into moderate thick steaks and then pan-seared in a cast-iron skillet and topped with a delicious wine-based sauce for a quick and easy weeknight main dish.
While skillet heats prepare the tenderloins. Cut tenderloin into thirds then pound each into half-inch thick steaks using a mallet or flat side of a meat tenderizer.
Mix the spices together in a small bowl or ramekin. Season each of the steaks on both sides.
Add oil of choice or ghee (clarified butter) to the skillet once it's smoking hot.
Add the tenderloin steaks and sear each about 2-3 minutes per side.
Make the Sauce
Reduce the heat of the skillet to medium. Add additional oil if needed, then add the onions and saute 3-4 minutes.
Add ½ cup red wine cooking the alcohol off (1 -2 minutes). Add a ¼ cup of the beef stock. Bring to boil, then reduce and cook until the sauce thickens.
Add 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar plus a pinch or two of the spice mix. Mix well and serve over the pork steaks. Garnish with fresh herbs.
