Pork Scallopini With Butter Caper Sauce

This dish has such a rich, delicious flavor. 
 
It's one you will want to make over and over again.
1 to 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons capers
1/3 cup white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Slice the pork tenderloin into ½ inch slices on a 
diagonal. Pound thin between plastic wrap with a meat 
mallet. Sift together the flour and salt. Lightly 
dredge the pork and shake off any excess flour. In a 
large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. 
Cook the pork 2-3 minutes on each side or until 
golden and transfer to a warm plate.
Wipe out skillet. Heat a tablespoon of butter in 
skillet. Add the capers, white wine and lemon juice. 
Allow to reduce just a little before adding the final 
tablespoon of butter. Mix slowly to incorporate and 
remove immediately from the heat.
Spoon the sauce over the pork and serve.
