Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

24 oz pork tenderloin medallions
1 cup olive oil
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 cup aged rum
3 cups heavy cream

Steps:

1. Place pork medallions in a large dish. Whisk together the olive oil, cumin, oregano and garlic until well blended. Pour the mixture over pork medallions, toss to coat pork on all sides, and marinate for 20 minutes.
2. Remove the pork from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Season pork with salt, and sauté in a large skillet over medium heat about 5 to 6 minutes each side or until evenly browned on both sides. (Cooking time will depend on thickness of pork, and thicker medallions will require longer cooking time, even up to 10 minutes per side.)
3. Flambé it with the rum. (To do this, add rum to skillet and VERY CAREFULLY touch the liquor with a lit match. Use caution, because the flame can suddenly "erupt" in all directions, and you'll want to avoid burns by keeping your distance for several seconds once you achieve the flambé.) Let the flame burn and eventually die down after a few seconds. Once the flame dies down, stir the rum for about 1 minute so the alcohol is fully incorporated into the pan drippings.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir the heavy cream into the sauce, and let it cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Arrange pork medallions on 4 individual serving plates. Spoon the creamy rum-infused pan sauce over each serving, and serve immediately while still hot.

Tips:

To ensure a juicy and tender pork tenderloin, it is crucial to cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
To achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust on the pork tenderloin, sear it in a hot skillet or grill for a few minutes per side before transferring it to the oven to finish cooking.
To prevent the pork tenderloin from drying out, baste it with melted butter or oil throughout the cooking process.
For a more flavorful pork tenderloin, marinate it in a mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear, the pork is cooked.

Conclusion:

Flambé pork tenderloin is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. By following these tips, you can create a tender, juicy, and flavorful pork tenderloin that will be the star of your next meal.
