Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Fresh plums
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tsp Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and gently flatten each piece into a cutlet using the bottom of a heavy skillet or a meat mallet.

Step 2

Season the cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each cutlet lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork cutlets in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the cooked cutlets and keep warm.

Step 4

Pit and roughly chop the fresh plums. Place them in a small saucepan over medium heat along with honey, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, grated ginger, and water. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the plum mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums break down and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the plum glaze and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat and strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture (optional).

Step 7

Plate the pork cutlets and generously spoon the plum glaze over the top. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
