Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork loin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup red wine
• 0.5 cup chicken stock
• 2 shallots
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: one with flour, the second with whisked eggs, and the third with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4

Dredge the pork loin in the flour, followed by the egg mixture, and then coat it thoroughly with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.

Step 5

In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the pork loin and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, prepare the red wine reduction. Finely dice the shallots, then sauté them in the same skillet over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the red wine, chicken stock, fresh thyme sprigs, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Let the sauce reduce by half, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve the pork loin slices drizzled with the red wine reduction. Enjoy immediately.
