MARSALA PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Place the pork in a ziploc bag or non-metallic container with salt and pepper (to taste), olive oil, lemon juice, and ground sage.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning after 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
• Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot pan, turning frequently until browned all over.
• Place ovenproof skillet in oven and roast for 10-20 minutes.
• (If not using an ovenproof skillet, transfer the tenderloins to a roasting pan, but use skillet to make sauce.) When cooked, remove pork, set aside, and cover to keep warm.
• Place skillet over high heat.
• When hot, add the marsala wine.
• Cook until steaming.
• Add the chicken stock, fresh chopped sage leaves, and minced shallot, scraping seared pork bits from bottom of pan.
• Cook, reducing, over high heat until the sauce reduces by at least half.
• Turn off heat add butter, stirring until melted.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut tenderloins on an angle into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
• Arrange on plate and serve with sauce (be careful not to overcook the pork).
