1 |
Slice pork crosswise
into ¾-inch-thick medallions, leaving narrow "tail"
portion 1-inch-thick. Press each medallion with heel of
your hand to flatten slightly. Season both sides with
salt and pepper, and rub surface with about 1 teaspoon
of the olive oil so all surfaces are lightly coated. Set
aside. |
|
2 |
In a medium bowl,
combine mango, cilantro, green parts of scallion
(reserve white parts), lime zest, lime juice and red
pepper. Add remaining 1 tsp. olive oil, and salt to
taste. |
|
3 |
Heat medium skillet
(preferably cast iron or non-stick) over medium-high
heat. When hot, sauté pork medallions in a single layer
(do this in batches if necessary), until browned and
just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (You may
cut one medallion to check for doneness; there should be
a trace of pink.) Transfer pork to a plate to rest. |
|
4 |
Return skillet to
medium heat, add reserved scallion white, and sauté for
1 minute. Add orange juice, scrape bottom of skillet
with a wooden spoon, and bring to a boil. Boil until
slightly syrupy, another minute. Return pork to skillet,
turning to reheat and coat with glaze. Serve
immediately, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top
and putting the salsa on the side. |
