PORK MEDALLIONS WITH MAPLE-VINEGAR SAUCE
Steps:
- Using meat mallet or rolling pin, flatten pork between sheets of waxed paper to about ¼ in. thickness. Season both sides of pork with pepper. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork and sauté until brown and cooked through, about 4 min. per side. Transfer to plate. Add shallots to same skillet. Cook 30 seconds. Mix in mustard and chicken broth and simmer until reduced by ¼, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and vinegar. Simmer until liquids are reduced to sauce consistency, about 5 min. longer. Return pork and accumulated juices to skillet. Cook until just heated through, about 1 min. Arrange pork on platter. Spoon sauce over and serve.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork medallions. Look for medallions that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the medallions stay juicy and tender during cooking.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will complement the pork medallions perfectly.
- Don't overcook the pork medallions. Pork medallions are best cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the medallions dry and tough.
- Let the pork medallions rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful medallion.
- Garnish the pork medallions with fresh herbs or vegetables. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Pork medallions with maple vinegar sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork medallions are juicy and tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
