• 6 cups trimmed arugula
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (or turbinado)

1. 1

   Place each piece of pork between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound each piece to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.

2. 2

   Combine 2 tablespoons vinegar, juice, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon juice mixture. Pour the remaining juice mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

   Preheat grill to medium heat.

4. 4

   Place peaches, cut sides up, on a plate; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar.

5. 5

   Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until pork is done. Set aside.

6. 6

   Place peaches, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 4 minutes or until soft and slightly browned. Turn and cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Cut each peach half into 4 slices. Slice pieces of pork into 1-inch-thick strips.

7. 7

   Drizzle trimmed arugula with reserved 1 tablespoon juice mixture, tossing to coat. Divide arugula evenly among 4 plates. Top with grilled pork strips and peach slices; sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar.
