Slice the pork tenderloin into 8 equal medallions, about 1-inch thick each. Place the medallions between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet until approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Lightly dredge each pork scaloppine in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter until hot. Add the pork pieces in batches and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked pork to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the olives, white wine, and chicken stock to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce the liquid slightly.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Cook for another minute to combine the flavors and create a silky sauce.
Return the pork scaloppine to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Heat for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
