Why I Love This Recipe
This is a very tasty way to eat pork. It makes a meal like you would get in a fancy restaurant.

8 slices boneless loin of pork
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger

2 tsps. honey
1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Directions
Place pork slices on flat surface and pound.
Sprinkle w/ salt and freshly ground pepper. Combine the ginger, thyme, bay leaf, clove, wine, vinegar and honey in a bowl and blend well.
Place the sliced pork in a dish.
Pour mixture over pork and marinate for 10 minutes (this can be done in a plastic bag, but don't do it in a metal dish).
Drain pork and pat dry.
Reserve marinade.
Heat oil in skillet large enough to hold slices in one layer.
When oil is hot, add pork and cook at med. high about 5 minutes on each side until brown. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer. Transfer meat to a warm platter.
