PORK MEDALLIONS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Categories     Citrus     Pork     Sauté     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Low/No Sugar     Dinner     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch-thick medallions
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup chicken stock or canned broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 cup peeled diced lemon segments (optional)
Chopped fresh chives or green onion tops

Steps:

  • Press pepper onto both sides of pork pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Season pork with salt. Cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and keep warm.
  • Add stock and lemon juice to skillet. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 7 minutes. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add capers and lemon segments if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over pork. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork medallions are cooked evenly and remain juicy, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature.
  • For a crispy crust on the pork medallions, pat them dry with paper towels before searing.
  • If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or sour cream. However, heavy cream will yield a richer, creamier sauce.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use chicken broth or white wine instead of water.
  • If you don't have capers, you can use chopped pickles or olives as a substitute.
  • Serve the pork medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Crisp Pork Medallions with Creamy Caper Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork medallions are juicy and flavorful, while the creamy caper sauce is rich and tangy. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family.
