3. Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. 
4. Season pork with salt on both sides.

6. Cook in the oven to medium doneness. Glaze every few minutes.

**According to Loren Cordain and his Paleo Diet Blog, "Sugars were part of our Hunter-gatherers ancestors' diet but not year round. So, use them in moderation."
