Ingredients:
- 2 boneless pork fillets
- 1 cup flour
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons basil pesto
- 4 tablespoons medium sherry
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Trim the pork fillets, then cut the meat into 1-inch slices on the diagonal. |
| 2 | Place the pork slices on a board and gently flatten them using the base of a saucepan until they reach about 1/2 inch in thickness. |
| 3 | Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. |
| 4 | Spread the flour evenly on a plate and season it well with salt and black pepper. |
| 5 | Coat both sides of each pork slice with the seasoned flour. |
| 6 | Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pork slices and fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. |
| 7 | Transfer the cooked pork slices to the rack of the grill pan, leaving the frying pan with any remaining oil and juices aside for later use. |
| 8 | Spread a generous amount of basil pesto over the top of each pork slice. |
| 9 | Place the pork slices under the grill or broiler for 30-60 seconds, or until the pesto is bubbling and fragrant. |
| 10 | Transfer the grilled pork slices to warm plates and keep them hot. |
| 11 | Return the frying pan to the stove and add the medium sherry. Stir over moderate heat, scraping up any crispy bits and meat juices from the pan, until well mixed. |
| 12 | Pour the sherry sauce over the pork slices just before serving. |
| 13 | Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and vibrant color. |
