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.
