Wine Basted Pork Medallions Recipes

PAN FRIED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch medallions and lightly sprinkle each side with salt and pepper. Warm a large stainless skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and when it is shimmering, add the pork to the skillet. Let the pork cook without touching it for 3 minutes. Set a plate next to the stove along with a piece of foil to cover the pork.
• Use a metal spatula to get underneath each one and flip them over. Don't worry if they stick a bit. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes. Lift each medallion with the spatula and transfer to the waiting plate. Cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
• Place the empty skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Add the wine to the hot skillet and use a spatula to scrape up the little browned bits of meat and deglaze the pan. Add the chicken base, whisk to combine, and cook for about 2 minutes.
• In a small cup, whisk the cornstarch, and paprika into the cream until smooth. Add the cream into the saucepan slowly, whisking until combined. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the pork, sprinkle with parsley, and serve. Enjoy!

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• I love to cook pork tenderloin, and one of my goto options is to cut pork medallions from a whole loin. In this recipe video, I show you how to portion out medallions, sauté them, and serve with white wine sauce. The dish reminds me a bit of filet mignon, but of course is a bit lighter and healthier. Another great thing about pork, is the options are nearly endless. It's easy to add different spices and herbs to create a "new" meal every time you make them. But those are for another time, let's look at this pork medallion in white wine sauce recipe. Recipe Overview and Keys to Success To cook the best pork medallions (and frankly any pork tenderloin) you should make sure to the following: Regarding the doneness of pork, you need to make your own call, but I think the days of well-done pork tenderloin are over. Pork today is raised cleaner than it used to be, and cooking until it's completely well done, isn't really needed. I think if you over cook the pork you end up with dry shoe leather. I cook the pork to medium or medium well at most. In a good hot pan, they should only take about 2 - 3 minutes on each side, and if you need to, use a meat thermometer (I like ~140 degrees). Use a very hot pan so that you can get a good sear on both side of the pork Ingredients for Pork Medallions in White Wine Sauce (for 2) Pork tenderloin 2 Minced garlic cloves 1 diced shallot Half cup of white wine Tablespoon of Dijon mustard Half cup of chicken stock Tablespoon of chopped parsley 3 tablespoons butter Cutting the Pork Medallions To cut the pork medallions, the first thing you need to do is clean the whole tenderloin. If the ends of the lion of tapered off, they don't make the greatest medallions shape. They will cook & taste fine, but if the presentation is important (like for a dinner party) you may want to trim 2 - 3 inches from each side Remove the sliver skin from the tenderloin. This skin is very tough and not really edible, so it's best removed. Check out the video to see how to remove it. You can then cut your medallions any thickness you'd like. I like to cut them about 2 inches thick, and like to serve about 3 of those per person. Once cut season with salt and pepper Cooking the Pork and Sauce Get your frying pan very hot and add enough oil to coat the bottom Add the medallions and sear on one side until they develop a nice crust - about 3 minutes Turn the medallions and sear on the other side, again 2 - 3 minutes until cooked to medium, and remove from the pan. Put in a warm spot and cover with foil Turn the heat down to medium and add the diced shallot and garlic. Saute until soft. Add the wine and deglaze the pan; turn the heat to high and reduce the wine by half Add the mustard and stir to combine Add in the stock; again reduce by half Turn the heat off, and add the butter and parlsey. Stir to combine and incorporate the butter. Plate the pork and spoon the sauce over and around the medallions Enjoy!!

Turn the slices and cook about 5 minutes more. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the meat to a warm serving platter. Keep warm.

Scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula and cook until the marinade is reduced to 3/4 of its original quantity. Swirl in the butter and pour the sauce over the medallions. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.
