1/2 tsp salt, to season pork

2 g cracked black pepper, to season pork

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

2 Tbsp pink peppercorns

450 g pork medallions

1 cup port

1 cup red grapefruit juice (approx. 2 red grapefruit)

400 g steamed green beans

400 g mashed sweet potato, made with 1/2 Tbsp butter and 80 mL skim milk

Directions:

Season pork medallions with cracked pepper and salt. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy-based fry pan over a medium heat until bubbling and golden. Add peppercorns, swirl pan to combine ingredients. Cook pork for 3 minutes on either side for rare meat, longer for well done.

Place the pork medallions on serving plates along with the mashed sweet potato and beans. Top the pork with red grapefruit and drizzle the sauce over. Serve.
