Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork loin steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 12 pieces prunes (pitted)
• 0.5 cups white wine
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 1 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork loin steaks dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork loin steaks.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Sear the pork loin steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and add the prunes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to caramelize slightly.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Add the chicken stock and honey to the skillet, stirring until the honey dissolves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the pork loin steaks to the skillet, nestling them among the prunes. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Remove the pork loin steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish the pork and prunes with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
