| 1 tablespoon | olive oil |
| 1 | (1-lb.) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 12 slices |
| 1 tablespoon | chopped fresh thyme, divided |
| 1/2 cup | dry red wine |
| 3/4 teaspoon | kosher salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | black pepper |
| 1 cup | unsalted chicken stock |
| 1/3 cup | cherry preserves |
Directions:
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork slices; cook 2 minutes on each side. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
Step 2
Increase heat to high. Add 2 teaspoons thyme to drippings in pan; cook 30 seconds. Add wine, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add stock and preserves; cook 8 minutes or until reduced to about 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally. Spoon cherry mixture evenly over pork; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
