Preparation

Step 1

Cut tenderloin crosswise into 1-inch slices. Using a meat mallet, pound the medallions between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to a 1/2-inch thickness; sprinkle with salt, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and fennel seeds. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat; add pork and cook until brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Add broth, maple syrup and chili sauce to the skillet. Boil for 2 to 4 minutes or until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Pour sauce over pork, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Baked sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli spears.
