Pork Tenderloin a l'Orange
Inspired by the recipe I made for a client, I duplicated it at home for our dinner tonite. I knew it would be good, but wow, it's really great and not terribly difficult.
It uses sliced pork tenderloin pounded to about 1/4 inch thickness and quickly sauteed, the sauce ingredients get combined and added to the pan and simmered, dinner is done!
I added ground ginger to the sauce ingredients, deglazed the pan with 1/3 cup white wine then added the sauce and after reaching a boil added back the meat and simmered for 4 minutes. Sprinkled the finished dish with chopped parsley, chives would also be great!
Here's the original recipe, which by the way if from a fellow Personal Chef:
