Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork loin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup red wine
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 2 shallots
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: one with flour, the second with whisked eggs, and the third with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge the pork loin in the flour, followed by the egg mixture, and then coat it thoroughly with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the pork loin and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the red wine reduction. Finely dice the shallots, then sauté them in the same skillet over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the red wine, chicken stock, fresh thyme sprigs, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Let the sauce reduce by half, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the pork loin slices drizzled with the red wine reduction. Enjoy immediately.
