Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 small pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds total)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 medium shallots, roughly chopped
- 1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
- 4 fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup dry white wine or water
- 1 5-to-6-ounce can light tuna packed in olive oil, drained, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil
- 2 tablespoons capers, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 ounces baby arugula or mixed field greens (about 4 cups)
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium low; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the shallots and carrot to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the sage and wine and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the skillet along with the tuna and capers. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the pork registers 150, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, discard the sage and transfer the remaining contents of the skillet to a blender. Add the reserved tuna oil, the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; puree until smooth.
Slice the pork and divide among plates. Top with the sauce and greens, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with more capers.

I was excited about the tuna dressing on top of the pork. It was nice, but not over the top amazing. I wonder what else once could substitute for the tuna....bacon? I will try it again and look to vary slightly.

Made this for dinner this evening and we really enjoyed it. The only change I made was using dried sage rather than fresh since I wasn't able to find good fresh sage. Very tasty and a bit unusual for us. My 7-year-old ate every bite. One note, however: the recipe says it serves 4--this easily could have served 6, maybe even 8.

This wasn't OUTSTANDING, but it wasn't bad either. An easy, quick dinner. Tasted similar to Pork Tenderloin served with Tuna Salad.... not a typical combination, but a pleasant surprise
