Sage-and-Pecan Pork Tenderloin Cutlets
Beth Dreiling Hontzas
It's important to turn the cutlets every two minutes for even browning.
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 6 minutes or until reduced by half. Stir in blackberry preserves, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in salt.
Step 2
Remove silver skin from pork tenderloin, leaving a thin layer of fat covering meat. Cut pork into 8 slices. Place pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and flatten to a 1/4-inch thickness, using a rolling pin or flat side of a meat mallet.
Step 3
Stir together breadcrumbs, pecans, and sage in a shallow bowl.
Step 4
Dredge pork in breadcrumb mixture, dip in beaten eggs, and dredge again in breadcrumb mixture.
Step 5
Cook 4 pork slices in 2 tsp. hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 minutes or until done, turning every 2 minutes. Repeat procedure with remaining pork and oil. Serve pork over fresh spinach, if desired. Drizzle with vinegar mixture; garnish, if desired.
Step 6

I really loved the pork tenderloin. The flavors were incredible and the meat was very tender. I did not like the sauce and was disappointed with it's taste. Adding sugar to it might have made it better but it found it's way down the drain. I would make the pork again for a weekday meal or even for company. I did make a few changes: used panko breadcrumbs and fresh sage. I ended up putting the meat in the oven to finish cooking while my roasted carrots and potatoes finished their last ten minutes of cooking. The pork is a must try though!

The sauce is a 5-star winner but I decided I prefer not to have my pork breaded. I have since used the sauce on grilled pork chops, substituting strawberry preserves, and that was also wonderful.
Best pork ever...
