Instructions

  • Heat a large frying pan or skillet over high heat.
  • Pat pork loin dry and brush with stone ground mustard.
  • Combine the seasonings in a small bowl (minced onion, onion powder, ground mustard, salt, and chili powder), then coat the pork with the seasoning.
  • Add pork loin to the pan or skillet and sear all sides, this should take about two minutes per side. This will seal in the flavor.

Slowly incorporate the red wine, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Purée 10 more seconds *For this step- you can use an immersion blender, food processor, or blender to break down the sauce.*
