Ingredients
-
1
pork tenderloin, trimmed of silverskin, cut into ½-inch slices
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1/4 cup
flour
-
3 tablespoons
salted butter, divided
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
3
spring onions, chopped (whites only)
-
8
Persian cucumbers (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces
-
4
sprigs thyme plus 2 teaspoons leaves
-
1 tablespoon
lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Directions
-
Place pork between two layers of plastic wrap. Using a heavy skillet or meat mallet, pound pork to ¼-inch thickness; season with salt and pepper. Dredge pork in flour. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high. Cook pork, turning once, until browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining oil and pork (set pork aside and tent with foil as they are cooked through).
-
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in cucumbers, thyme, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cucumbers are beginning to brown and are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs; stir in lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon butter and fresh thyme leaves. Serve scaloppine with cucumbers and lemon wedges.
