Here’s the deal : my family gets soooo tired of chicken. So we’ve been eating a lot of steak lately. For some reason, I’ve been craving it all summer (especially skirt steak), and I keep buying it and grilling it and serving it for dinner! Every time I go back to chicken, my family grunts and groans about how often we have chicken. Good grief, family! There are only so many things to serve for dinner. Pork is a great alternative. No one ever seems to complain when I serve pork! This recipe features pork tenderloin sliced into medallions and pounded into cutlets, rubbed with orange zest and ginger, sauteed and topped with a wonderful fresh mango-tomato salsa! No complaints! … except for one > my tomato-shy son moved all of the tomatoes aside and enjoyed only mangoes. My son goes absolutely bonkers over mangoes- loves them to pieces, but he is absolutely disgusted by tomatoes. That’s okay… more tomatoes for the adults!
I enjoy making pork cutlets because they cook up quickly (so your hot stove only has to be on for a few minutes in the heat of summer!)… and if you just fry them briefly, they really do turn out tender and delicious. All they need is a little flavor added to them, which we do in this recipe with the orange and ginger. The salsa is a nice addition to make this a perfectly summery sort of dinner. We loved it. So set aside the boring ‘ol chicken and make this for dinner instead!
