Recipe type: Main Dish
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced, 1 very thinly sliced
  • 1 pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch slices and pounded ¼ inch thick
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chives, sliced
Instructions
  1. Place flour in a shallow dish and stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Season pork with salt and pepper, then coat with flour, shaking off excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. In batches, cook pork until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and remaining tablespoon butter, and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  4. Add broth and cook, stirring, until reduced by half, 4 minutes. Return pork to pan along with any accumulated juices and lemon slices; cook until sauce has thickened slightly, 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chives.
