Herbed Pork Paillards w/ Sun dried Tomato Butter

Kory and I made this one after watching Worst Cooks in America. It turned out just like that picture and was easy!

Compound Butter:

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons drained and finely chopped oil-packed sundried tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Pinch Cajun spice
  • Pinch salt

Pork:

  • 1 (2-pound) boneless pork loin
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
For the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the sundried tomatoes, sage, parsley, Cajun spice, and salt. Whisk together until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a cigar shape about 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
For the pork: Slice the loin into 3/4-inch thick slices, and then one by one, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until each slice is flat and even (about a 1/4-inch thick).
Season the flour with salt and pepper, and then dredge the pork in the seasoned flour.
Heat the oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Once the oil has heated, add the floured pork to the pan and allow to cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat, flip, add some thyme and parsley, and repeat the process on the second side until finished cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the pork is cooked.
Serve with asparagus, green beans, or your favorite side vegetable.
