3/4 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed of separable fat
1 lg. onion, cut into thin wedges
1 C. celery, cut into thin bite-size strips
1 C. carrots, cut into thin bite-size strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 C. water
2 tsp. instant chicken boullion granules
1/4 tsp. dried tarragon, crushed
dash pepper
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. cold water

1. Cut pork tenderloin crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Place one slice of pork between two pieces of clear plastic wrap. Working from the center to the edges, pound lightly with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Repeat with each remaining pork slice; set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan combine onion, celery, carrots, garlic, the 1 C. water, boullion granules, tarragon and pepper. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender
3. Stir together cornstarch and remaining water. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir 2 minutes more.
4. Meanwhile, spray a 10-inch skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Cook half of the pork slices over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining pork slices.
5. To serve, spoon vegetable mixture onto a serving platter. Place pork slices atop vegetables.
