Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut diagonally into 8 pieces
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces dried medium egg noodles
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 cup dry vermouth
2 tablespoons drained capers, coarsely chopped
Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Gently pound each piece of pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thickness with flat side of a meat pounder or a rolling pin. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then, without crowding, sauté half of pork, turning over once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes total. Transfer with tongs to a plate and keep warm, covered. Sauté remaining pork with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in same manner. Reserve skillet with fat.

    Step 3

    While meat is sautéing, cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, then drain in a colander. Return to pot and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 4

    Add vermouth and capers to skillet and deglaze by boiling, scraping up brown bits. Continue to boil until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute.

    Step 5

    Divide noodles among 4 plates and top with pork. Spoon sauce over pork.
