Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

  • Season the pork slices with salt and pepper and dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pork for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the butter and parsley and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Spoon the sauce over the pork and serve hot.
