Step 1

Season the pork with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the pork in an even layer and cook without stirring until lightly browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 2

To the fat remaining in the skillet, add the bell peppers, onion, ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the wine, honey and sage, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 3

Return the pork to the skillet along with any accumulated juices, then bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the pork is no longer pink at the center and the sauce clings lightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with additional oil and honey and sprinkled with pepper.

Step 4

Don’t worry that the pork isn’t cooked through after searing. This step, which only partially cooks the meat, produces flavor-building browning for the sauce. The pork will finish after it is returned to the skillet to simmer with the vegetables.

Step 5

All that’s needed to complete the meal is warm bread, polenta or pilaf.
