Pork Tenderloin with Zesty Italian Sauce

I don't think of using salad dressing for much, other than on salad, but I've learned in the last few years that it really does have some multi-faceted uses. It's great for a simple chicken marinade, you can easily amp up a pasta salad with it, and apparently you can cook pork in it. Now Doug can't complain about the 10 bottles of salad dressing on top of our freezer that I got cheap from couponing. :-)

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 Tbsp canola oil
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup zesty Italian salad dressing
• 1 Tbsp butter

Cut pork into 8 slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown both sides of pork in oil. remove from pan. Add wine to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Boil until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in dressing. Cook until slightly thickened. Return pork to pan; cover and simmer 3-5 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145 degrees. Stir in butter. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
