Step 1
Pat pork dry and slice into 1-inch medallions, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear pork medallions 2 minutes per side without moving—edges should look opaque and golden.
Step 4
Sprinkle brown sugar over pork, toss to coat, and cook 30 seconds until caramelized and fragrant.
Step 5
Transfer pork to a plate and serve alongside roasted sweet potatoes, fresh strawberries, and peppery arugula.
