Charmaine Rone, a reader from Redwood City, California, created this when she couldn’t find a quick, easy, and delicious recipe for cooking pork tenderloin. We cut the tenderloin in half so it fits easily in a frying pan and cooks even faster.
This recipe, and others like it, can be found in the article “New Year’s Eve Wine Pairings: Bubbles and Dishes to Impress Your Friends.”
