Ingredients

HEAT:

ADD:

If you're sensitive to alcohol, substitute ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth for the white wine in the sauce.

Instructions

Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high. Sear pork until brown, 5 minutes on each side.

Add cider, wine, and vinegar; bring to a boil, cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove lid, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes more, turning pork occasionally.

Transfer pork to a plate, season with pepper, and tent with foil.

Simmer liquids remaining in pan until reduced to ½ cup, 810 minutes.

Serve medallions with sauce and Sautéed Greens and Beans.

The trick to well-seared medallions is to resist moving them. They'll release when a crust has formed.
