Pork Medallions With Cider Sauce Recipes

ELEGANT PORK MEDALLIONS IN STILTON CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the tenderloin into 1" thick rounds. Dredge in flour salt and pepper and put aside.
• Gently fry the onion and the chopped rosemary leaves in a little butter until the onion is soft and transparent.
• Add the stock, and cider and then gradually add the crumbled Stilton allowing it to melt inches.
• Add the cream and let the mixture bubble down until it is thick and reduced by approx 2/3. (I gently simmered for an hour stirring frequently).
• Then fry the pork medallions in batches for about 6 minutes per side. You want the pork to still be juicy.
• Toss the pork in the sauce and serve, garnished with a sprig of rosemary.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into 2" - thick medallions and season with salt.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 5 minutes on each side or until brown. (The trick to well-seared meat is resisting the urge to move the meat too soon. The meat will "unstick" when a perfect crust is formed.).
• Add apple cider, wine and apple cider vinegar. (This will deglaze the pan and release the brown bits stuck at the bottom.).
• Bring to a boil, cover and cook 5 minutes.
• Remove lid, reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes more. Turn pork occasionally.
• Transfer the pork to a plate and season with pepper. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• This part is important: Simmer the liquids until reduced to 1/2 cup. The sauce should be thick and syrupy and should coat the back of a spoon. This could take 10 to 20 minutes (depending on your stove and the size of the pan you are using). DO NOT over-reduce, it will scorch.
• Spoon the cider sauce over the medallions and serve.

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the pork on each side for 2-3 mins until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
• Melt the butter in the pan and, when foaming, fry the shallots and mushrooms over a medium heat for 10 mins. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 min. Stir through the flour and cook for another 2 mins. Whisk through the madeira and boil for 2 mins. Gradually stir through the stock until the sauce is lump free. Add the thyme and mustard and season to taste.
• Return the pork to the pan and simmer uncovered for 5-7 mins or until the pork is cooked through. Stir through the cream and heat again until simmering. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and wilted greens.
