What You Need
Instructions
Cut pork tenderloin into 1-inch (2 1/2 cm) thick medallions; sprinkle with a pinch each salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl to coat pan. Brown pork, turning once, for about 1 min per side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Add garlic, prosciutto and sage to pan and sauté for about 2 min or until prosciutto starts to brown. Add vinegar and boil, scraping up bottom. Stir in cream; bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 5 min, until sauce is slightly thickened.
Stir in pork with any accumulated juices and tomatoes. Simmer, stirring and turning pork once, for about 5 min or just until a hint of pink remains in pork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with basil and Parmesan cheese.
Tips
Choose the ripest tomatoes possible for the best flavour. Often plum (Roma) or grape tomatoes have better flavour when regular ones are out of season.

This was delicious. Better than the boring pork chops we usually have.
