Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1- 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin trimmed, and sliced on the bias into 1/2- inch-thick medallions
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 3/4 cup fresh orange juice (about 3 oranges)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers drained and rinsed (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place pork slices on a clean work surface, and press with the heel of your hand until each is about 1/3 inch thick. Lightly dredge pork in flour mixture, turning to coat completely, tap off excess.
  2. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, add pork; sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter. Add more oil to skillet, if needed. Cover with foil.
  3. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add citrus juices and capers, if desired. Bring to a boil, stirring up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve sauce over pork.
