1 1/4 lb. pork tenderloin, sliced into ½ inch thick medallions
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste, divided

3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons chopped shallot

Preparation:
Season the pork medallions with ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the meat until there is just a slight blush in the center about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil.
Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the shallots to the pan and sauté until they begin to soften, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and the cherries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
