Recipe Help

Citrus-Thyme Pork

Ingredients
10-12 sprigs fresh thyme (rinsed) 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 citrus-marinated pork loin filet (about 1 1/2 lb) 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 teaspoon roasted garlic 1 tablespoon flour 1/3 cup pre-sliced green onions 2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/3 cup orange juice

Steps
1. Chop thyme, leaves only, and combine with pepper in small bowl. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes.
2. Slice pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices; sprinkle thyme mixture over both sides of pork (wash hands).
3. Place butter in pan; swirl to coat. Place pork in pan (wash hands); cover and cook 4–5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Meanwhile, measure remaining ingredients and arrange near stovetop. Remove pork from pan; set aside.
4. Add garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Stir in flour; cook 1–2 minutes, stirring often, or until mixture begins to brown.
5. Add green onions and cook 1 minute. Stir in broth and orange juice; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring continuously, or until sauce thickens.
6. Return pork slices to pan and turn to coat with sauce; remove from heat and let stand until ready to serve.
