Pork With Orange Sauce

Directions

1. 1
   Heat oven to 450 degrees or heat broiler, adjusting rack so that it is about 4 inches from heat source.
2. 2
   Put an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold pork in one layer on stove top and turn heat to high.
3. 3
   Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.
4. 4
   Brown meat quickly on both sides, then transfer skillet to oven or broiler.
5. 5
   Meanwhile, combine orange juice, cayenne, cumin and shallots in a small saucepan and turn heat to medium.
6. 6
   Cook, stirring, until it reduces to about 1/3 cup; taste and add salt as necessary, a touch more cayenne and cumin if you like, and some vinegar or lemon juice if sauce lacks acidity.
7. 7
   If broiling, turn meat once; if roasting, don't bother.
8. 8
   When meat is firm but not tough and a little pink in center (about 10 minutes if broiling, 15 if roasting), remove it to a platter.
9. 9
   Combine orange rind with parsley.
10. 10
    Spoon sauce over meat, then top with orange rind-parsley mixture.
