Instructions:
Instructions: To make the Marinade: In a small bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients.

Lightly season the pork cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the cutlets in a large, plastic resealable bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag on a plate, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

To make the Dressing: In a small bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients. Set aside

To make the Salad: Section the orange by first slicing off the top and bottom of the fruit just down to the juicy pulp. Stand the fruit on one flat end and, using a sharp paring knife, slice off the rind and all the whitish pith in curved, vertical strips. Cut just to where the juice and the pith meet. Turn the fruit as you go, following the curve of the fruit as you slice downward.

Proceed with the following cuts over a medium bowl to catch the juice and segments: Slice along the length of one side of a membrane dividing two sections. Cut just to the tapered inner edge of the section. Repeat on the other side of the segment, separating the fruit from the membrane. Give the knife a slight twist to pop out the clean section. Repeat with all remaining sections. Add the rest of the salad ingredients, except lettuce, add the dressing, and set aside until ready to serve.

Remove the cutlets from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill over Direct Medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.

To serve, place two cutlets on each serving plate. Add the lettuce to the salad mixture and toss to combine. Spoon salad on top of the cutlets, dividing evenly. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Wine Recommendation: Pull the cork on a fruity, light-bodied Pinot Noir from Sonoma.

Beer Recommendation: A graceful wheat beer, preferably a microbrew from Washington State, tastes just right here.

Comments: Tamari is a dark sauce made with soybeans but it has a richer, less salty taste than soy sauce. Mix it in the marinade with orange juice, though be sure to remove the orange zest (for both the marinade and the dressing) before squeezing the juice.
