Ingredients:

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 8 slices, pounded to 1/8-inch thickness
1 tsp salt-free grilling seasoning blend
3 tsp canola oil, divided
1 cup thinly sliced onions
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
3/4 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp white whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup water
2 tsp low-sodium beef bouillon granules

Instructions:

1Sprinkle both sides of the pork with seasoning blend.
2Heat 1 tsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Tilt skillet to coat bottom Add half of pork slices and cook 2 minutes; then turn and cook 1 minute or until juices run clear. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with 1 teaspoon canola oil and remaining pork and place on the plate.
3Heat remaining 1 tsp canola oil, tilt skillet, and add onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes or until onions are translucent. Stir in garlic. Remove skillet from heat and stir in remaining ingredients until well blended.
4Return to heat and add pork and any accumulated juices. Turn pieces over several times to coat with onion mixture, reduce to medium-low heat, cover tightly, and simmer 10 minutes or until pork is very tender and juices run clear

Cook's Tips:

To thinly pound pork, place an 18 in sheet of plastic wrap on the counter and lay pork on top. Top with a sheet of plastic wrap. Use a meat pounder, mallet, or the side of a can to pound the pork to 1/8 inch or more. Thinness is the key to tenderness.
