PORK BRAISED IN PORT AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Rinse and season the pork with salt and pepper: Add a little rosemary to the initial rub for more flavor.
• Heat the oil over high heat in a heavy skillet large enough to hold all the pork.
• Put the pork in and sear it for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
• Remove the meat and set aside while preparing the sauce: keep warm.
• After removing the meat from the pan, pour off all but 1 tbsp of the fat.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Saute for about 5 min.
• Deglaze the pan with the stock, wine, and vinegar, stirring well.
• Bring to a boil and re-add the pork; reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Cook 4-5 minutes, turn, and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, for a total cook time between 11-15 minutes.
• (If the pieces you're using are thicker than that, double the second cook time.) Keep warm again.
• Degrease the pan and reduce until its contents are just syrupy.
• Serve as sauce.
