Quick, easy, and absolutely delicious, that’s this one-pan entree you’ll want to make on repeat. Martha uses pork tenderloin, which she slices and pounds thin to make it cook quicker and more evenly. The pork is lightly browned in a large skillet, then it’s removed to a platter and sliced red onion and plums are added to the pan. They are cooked until tender, just a few more minutes. Red wine vinegar is used to deglaze the pan and create a sweet-tart sauce with the plums. The pork is added back, tossed with the sauce, and dinner is ready. Serve with rice, polenta, or mashed potatoes and a simple vegetable side or a leafy green salad.
