Ingredients

• 1 pound lean pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 8 slices
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place each pork slice between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; using a meat mallet or small, heavy skillet, pound into 1/2-inch thickness; sprinkle evenly with salt; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together orange marmalade and next 4 ingredients (rice wine vinegar through crushed red pepper flakes) until smooth. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add pork and cook for 1 1/2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Add marmalade mixture and simmer for 6 minutes or until pork is done. Sprinkle pork with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
