PORK MEDALLIONS DIJON
This recipe is quick enough to make on a weeknight, and yummy enough for company! The crushed black peppercorns are key....do not grind them into a fine mix. Take the peppercorns and put them into a non-breakable flat pan (like a metal pie pan), cover with a dish cloth or napkin, and pound them with a wooden or rubber mallet so that they are crushed or cracked, not ground. Yummy, yummy!

Steps:
- Cut the pork tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick slices. Dredge the tenderloin slices in flour.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet, and brown the tenderloin slices in the melted butter over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove tenderloin slices to a serving platter, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Keep the tenderloin slices warm. (I like to put them on top of a heating pad, covered with foil).
- Add the vinegar and crushed peppercorns to the drippings. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the whipping cream; cook for 15 minutes or until the mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard.

Tips:
- Buy Quality Pork Medallions: Opt for tender and flavorful pork medallions, ideally cut from the tenderloin or loin for a juicy and succulent result.
- Enhance Flavor with Seasoning: Don't shy away from seasoning your pork medallions. Use a blend of salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and thyme to create a savory and aromatic crust.
- Sear for Perfect Color and Flavor: Sear your pork medallions in a hot pan with butter or oil until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. This step locks in the natural juices and flavor.
- Control Cooking Time: Avoid overcooking your pork medallions to maintain their tenderness. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- Create a Savory Sauce: Elevate your pork medallions with a flavorful sauce. Dijon mustard, shallots, white wine, and cream can create a rich and creamy sauce that complements the pork perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Enhance the visual appeal of your dish by garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Serve immediately while the pork medallions are still hot and juicy.
