Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds pork-loin roast, trimmed of fat
1 cup dried sour cherries
1 cup port wine
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut pork into 1/4-inch slices. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound thin with a mallet or the side of a cleaver.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cherries with 1/3 cup of port. Bring to a simmer, then turn off heat. Let cherries soak until you need them.
  • In a medium saute pan (not nonstick) over medium-high heat, cook butter with olive oil until light brown. Cook pork in 2 batches, allowing to brown well around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm plate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Do not allow pan drippings to burn.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add vinegar, scraping pan with a wooden spoon. Return to heat, and add remaining 2/3 cup wine. Boil over high heat until thick, about 1 minute. Combine with cherries, and spoon over meat. Serve immediately.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CHERRY PORT SAUCE



Pork Medallions With Cherry Port Sauce image

After a Cook's Illustrated recipe, Sept 1997. Dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots can substitute for the cherries. To promote even cooking, cut your slices to a uniform thickness. If it helps, lay a ruler in front of the loin and slice at the one-inch marks. If you've got one, cover the pan with a splatter screen to prevent splattering.

Categories     Pork

Time 17m

Yield 1 tenderloin, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup port wine
1/2 cup sweet dried cherries
2/3 cup canned low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
table salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the silver skin from the tenderloin: slip a paring knife between the silver skin and the muscle fibers. Angle the knife slightly upward and use a gentle back-and-forth sawing action.
  • Slice the tenderloin into 1"-thick slices. Smack each slice with the flat of your chef's knife once or twice, to flatten them to about 3/4" thick. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of pork slices.
  • Heat oil until shimmering in heavy-bottomed pan, at least 10 inches across bottom, over medium-high heat, swirling pan to distribute oil. Working in batches of no more than six slices to avoid overcrowding, sear medallions without moving them until brown on one side, about 80 seconds (oil should sizzle, but not smoke). Turn medallions with tongs to avoid scraping off the sear; sear until meat is mostly opaque at sides, firm to the touch, and well browned, about 80 seconds. Transfer pork to plate.
  • Set pan in which pork was cooked over medium-high heat; add port and cherries. Boil, scraping pan bottom with wooden spatula to loosen browned bits, until liquid reduces to about 2 tablespoons, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to high; add stock or broth, rosemary, any accumulated pork juices; boil until liquid reaches consistency of maple syrup, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Reduce heat to medium; return pork to pan, turning meat to coat. Simmer to heat pork through and blend flavors, about 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Transfer pork to serving plate and spoon sauce over meat. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 8-ounce pork loin chops with bone, trimmed of excess fat (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup dried cherries (about 2 ounces)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Using sharp knife, cut bones from pork chops. Cover and refrigerate pork. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bones; sauté until brown, about 15 minutes. Pour off any accumulated fat. Add 2 cups broth to skillet. Simmer over low heat until broth is reduced to 1 cup, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of skillet, about 25 minutes. Remove bones from skillet. Add cherries and vinegar to skillet; simmer until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 8 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until pork is just firm and no longer pink in center, about 6 minutes. Transfer pork to plates. Tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Pour cherry mixture into same skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup and coats back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over pork.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have sour cherries, you can substitute fresh or frozen tart cherries. You can also use a good-quality cherry preserves or jam, but adjust the amount of sugar in the sauce accordingly.
  • Serve the pork medallions with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Pork medallions with sour cherry sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
