Step 1

1. Heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Sprinkle pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add pork to pan. Cook 4 minutes; turn and cook an additional 3 minutes or until done. Remove from pan.

2. Add shallots to pan; sauté 90 seconds. Add wine; cook 2 minutes or until reduced by half, scraping pan with a flat wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
