2 pounds pork-loin roast, trimmed of fat
1 cup dried sour cherries
1 cup port wine
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut pork into 1/4-inch slices. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound thin with a mallet or the side of a cleaver.
