Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

Portuguese Pork

Description

I was looking for a new recipe, and this seemed interesting, so we took it for a spin last night.  Russ gave it 2-thumbs up, and said I should definitely do it for the recipe corner tonight!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1-1/2 teaspoons coarse (Kosher) salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper

2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch medallions

2 red bell peppers, julienned

1 cup white wine

2 tablespoons lemon juice (or the juice from 1/2 lemon)

1/2 Thinly sliced lemon, for garnish (optional; read notes!)

Directions

In a bowl with lid, mix together garlic, salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil and black pepper. With a mallet, flatten the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick. Place in the bowl with the garlic mixture, tossing to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Heat the remaining oil (1 tablespoon) in a large skillet over high heat. Stir the pork for about 1 minute on each side.  Remove pork from heat, and set aside. Place red peppers, and the garlic marinade from the pork, into the skillet, and saute 2 to 5 minutes, until tender but firm. Pour white wine into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Reduce heat to low, return pork to skillet, and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 145F. Transfer the pork and pepper mixture to a serving platter.  Drizzle lemon juice over the pork and peppers. NOTE: If using lemon as garnish, slice 1/2 lemon into thin rounds while pork is simmering. Squeeze juice of remaining 1/2 lemon over the pork and peppers, after plating, and garnish with the lemon rounds.
