Tips:

  • To ensure the pork medallions cook evenly, ensure they are all of uniform thickness.
  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork medallions, resulting in a more succulent texture.
  • For a flavorful marinade, combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • When searing the pork medallions, use a high-heat cooking method, such as grilling or pan-frying, to create a crispy exterior while maintaining a juicy interior.
  • To achieve a perfect medium-rare doneness, cook the pork medallions for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the pork medallions rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Garnish the pork medallions with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or scallions, for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
