Something different to do with Pork Tenderloin

Cut on an angle into one inch thick slices. Drege in seasoned flour. Sautee in olive oil on medium high heat for about 3 minutes per side in an oven safe skillet. I had 2 tenderloins so I did this in 2 batches.

While thats cooking , prepare the sauce

1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons wine or cider vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
about one and one half leeks, minced

Mix this up and pour it over the pork after sauteeing. Finish in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. The sauce will thicken into a glaze. The chili powder gives it a nice little kick, almost like a General Tso's chicken phenomenon. Served with Broccoli and carrots sauteed with a little more diced leek to bring it all together.
I would definitely make this again.
