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. |
