Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork loin steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 12 pieces prunes (pitted)
- 0.5 cups white wine
- 0.5 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Pat the pork loin steaks dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork loin steaks.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork loin steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the prunes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to caramelize slightly.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
Add the chicken stock and honey to the skillet, stirring until the honey dissolves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork loin steaks to the skillet, nestling them among the prunes. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork loin steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish the pork and prunes with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
