Preparation
Step 1
Place 2 large, high-sided sauté pans over medium-high heat. Season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper.
2 To one skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the seasoned pork. Sear the pork on one side, without moving, until the pork is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side and cook through, about 2 minutes. (For well-done pork, lower the heat, cover the pan and cook for 3 more minutes.)
3 Meanwhile, in the second skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, sugar, vinegar and water. Bring to a simmer and add the cranberries, orange zest, juice, ginger and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the cranberries burst, about 5 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash the cranberries.
4 Remove pork to a platter and spoon cranberry sauce over the top.
5 Helpful Tip: make the cranberry sauce ahead of time! Warm when ready to serve.
