5-Minute Pork Cutlets for a 10-Minute Meal

Here's a very easy and quick meal.  Pork tenderloin can be very dry and bland but cooked quickly it's flavor is enhanced with the butter, salt & pepper.  You could certainly dress this up with a dollop of something.  Roasted red pepper couli?  Fig balsamic sauce?  A dill mustard from the Mustard Museum?  Whatever's at hand.

Ingredients:

• boneless pork tenderloin
• steam-in-bag frozen vegetables
• 1-2 Tbl. butter or olive oil
• Salt & pepper
