Spicy Sweet Pork Tenderloin

Cooking Light, 2005

Makes 4 servings

    1 tablespoon soy sauce                                         
    1 teaspoon mince ginger                                        
    1 teaspoon mince garlic                                        
    1 teaspoon canola oil                                          
    1 pound pork tenderloin trim, cut CW to 3/4-in slices          
    1/3 cup salsa                                                  
    1 tablespoon seedless raspberry preserves                      
    2 tablespoons chop fresh cilantro                              

Spooning the soy sauce mixture over the top of each piece of pork lets it soak into the meat like a quick marinade.

Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Flatten each pork piece to 1/2-inch thickness using your fingertips. Add pork to pan; spoon soy sauce mixture evenly over pork slices. Cook 3 minutes or until browned. Turn pork over; cook 3 minutes or until done. Remove from pan.

Add salsa and preserves to pan; increase heat to medium-high. Cook 30 seconds or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Serve pork with salsa mixture, and sprinkle with cilantro.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 pork slices, about 1 tablespoon salsa mixture, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cilantro)
