- Two 1-pound pork tenderloins, each cut on the bias into 6 slices
- Freshly ground pepper

- 12 thin slices of prosciutto (6 ounces)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Lay the pork slices on a work surface and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Season with pepper.
- Set a sage leaf in the center of each cutlet.

- In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until shimmering.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Arrange 6 of the cutlets in the skillet, prosciutto side down, and cook over moderately high heat until the prosciutto is crisp, about 1 minute.

- Transfer the cutlets to a warm platter.
- Wipe out the skillet and repeat with 1 tablespoon of butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 6 cutlets.
- Wipe out the skillet.
- Add the stock, lemon juice and any accumulated juices from the cutlets and boil over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 2 minutes.
- Off the heat, swirl in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
