Directions:

Trim pork of all fat and silverskin and cut across into 8 pieces. Place each pork piece cut side up on a sheet of plastic wrap. Top with another sheet of plastic and pound to flatten to 1/2 inch thickness. Season pounded with lemon pepper.

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brown pork for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until cooked but still a bit pink inside; remove pork to a platter as each browns and keep warm.

Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and mustard to the skillet. Pour in any juices from the pork platter and cook, string constantly, until heated through. Pour sauce over pork and serve sprinkled with parsley.
