A simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good starting point. - Sear the pork medallions in a hot skillet to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. - Finish cooking the pork medallions in the oven to ensure they are cooked through without overcooking. - While the pork is cooking, prepare the pear sauce.
