PORK AND PROSCIUTTO WITH MARSALA BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• For the pork and prosciutto: Cut the pork into 1-inch-thick medallions. Place each piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound to 1/8-inch even thickness.
• Add the flour to a shallow dish and season liberally with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of pork in the flour mixture and place on a wire rack to set.
• Add the olive oil to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and set over medium heat. Working in batches, add 3 to 4 pieces of prosciutto and cook on each side until golden and crispy, 30 to 45 seconds. It's okay if they curl up a little and twist as they cook; the most important thing is they are crispy! Set aside on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto. Add the sage leaves to the oil and cook until translucent and crispy, about 45 seconds. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the pork in the same skillet in batches, 3 to 4 pieces at a time. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set out on a serving platter and keep warm.
• For the marsala brown butter: Discard all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the skillet. Remove any black bits with a paper towel. Add the butter, garlic and shallots and cook over medium heat until the butter browns and the shallots turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Move the skillet away from the heat and deglaze with the Marsala. Return to the heat and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chopped parsley.
• To serve, pour the brown butter sauce over the pork and drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with the crispy prosciutto and sage.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH DIJON MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat pork tenderloins generously with mustard. Oil a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tenderloins in pan, and brown the meat. Turn to brown evenly. Transfer meat to prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn, and continue cooking for 20 minutes, or until desired doneness.
• Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat in the same pan used to cook the pork. Cook shallots in butter until soft. Stir in Marsala, mustard, and cream, and cook until volume of liquid is reduced by half.
• Slice pork, and place on a serving dish. Spoon sauce over meat, and serve.

PORK SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA

Steps:

• Trim the pork loin, leaving only a thin layer of fat, and cut it crosswise into twelve equal slices. Using a meat mallet (or other heavy implement), flatten and spread the slices into scaloppine about 1/4 inch thick. Season lightly on both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Dredge the scaloppine in the flour, coating both sides, and shake off the excess.
• Meanwhile, put 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet, set over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, lay four or more scaloppine in the skillet-as many as can lie flat without crowding-and let them sizzle in place until the underside is opaque and tinged with brown, about 3 minutes. Flip them over and color the second side for a couple of minutes; then lift out the slices, let the fat drain off, and put them on a platter. Add a bit more olive oil and/or butter to the skillet if it seems dry, and fry the rest of the scaloppine in the same way.
• When all of the pork is browned, pour off the frying oil but leave any crusty caramelization in the skillet. Put in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter, and return to medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, drop in the shallots and sage leaves, and cook, stirring, for a minute. Scatter the sliced mushrooms in the pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir continuously as the mushrooms sizzle and start to release their juices. Cook, tossing and stirring, until the moisture has evaporated and the mushroom slices are shrunken, soft, and caramelized, 6 minutes or more.
• Pour in the Marsala, raise the heat, and stir until it boils. Let the wine bubble and reduce for a minute or two, then stir in the stock. Bring to a boil, and cook at a gentle bubbling pace until the sauce is slightly viscous but loose, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• One by one, slide the scaloppine into the simmering sauce, and pour in any juices accumulated on the platter. Shake the pan, spoon sauce over the scaloppine, and flip them over once or twice, until they are heated through and glistening with sauce on both sides. If the sauce is too dense to coat all the meat, loosen it with a bit of stock. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the parsley all over, and serve.

PORK MEDALLIONS IN MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the tenderloins of silverskin and any excess fat. Cut the tenderloins into 2-inch-thick medallions. Flip each medallion onto a cut side and press down with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Season the meat with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper.
• Heat the olive oil and 1 Tbs. of the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. When the butter is melted and foaming, add half of the meat and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minute Flip and cook the other side until the meat is well browned and slightly firm to the touch, about another 2 minute Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork.
• Melt the remaining 2 Tbs. butter in the pan. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and sauté for about 30 seconds, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until all of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are golden, about 3 minute Season with 1/2 teaspoons salt, sprinkle with the flour, and add the Marsala. Once the Marsala has almost completely evaporated, add the chicken broth and reduce by half, about 3 minute Stir in the cream and parsley, return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pan, and cook, flipping the pork once, until it's firm to the touch and still a little pink in the middle (cut into a piece to check), 2 to 4 minute Taste for salt and pepper and serve.
