Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-ounce) boneless center-cut pork medallions
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red or white onion, cut in wedges
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus up to 2 tablespoons (optional)
1 cooking apple, like Rome, Gravenstein, or Golden Delicious, peeled, halved, cored, and cut in wedges
2 tablespoons torn fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the pork medallions well and season with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Lay the pork in the pan and cook until browned on the first side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the second side browns, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a plate, and cover loosely with foil.
  • 2. Add the onions to the skillet, stir and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and reduce heat to medium and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the cider vinegar and stir, scraping up the browned bits that cling to the skillet. Add the onions to the pork.
  • 3. Add the 1 tablespoon butter to skillet, raise heat to medium-high. Add the apples and sage; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and mustard, and simmer until the apples soften, about 2 minutes. Return the onions and any accumulated juices from the pork to the skillet. Simmer to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. (If desired swirl in up to 2 tablespoons of butter to thicken the sauce). Nestle the pork in the onions and heat until just warmed through. Divide the pork among 4 plates and top with the apples and onions. Serve.

SAUTEED PORK TENDERLOIN MEDALLIONS WITH APPLES & SAGE CREAM PAN SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)



Sauteed Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Apples & Sage Cream Pan Sauce Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), silver skin removed, cut into 1-inch slices, each pounded to 3/4 inch with flat side of chef's knife blade
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 Granny Smith apple or other firm apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 12 slices
1/2 medium onion , sliced thin (about 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup apple cider
3 tablespoons applejack or brandy (I use golden sherry)
1/2 cup chicken stock or low-salt canned broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup heavy cream
Table salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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. Melt butter in pan in which pork was cooked over medium-high heat, swirling to distribute. Add apple and onion; sauté until apple starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Add cider and applejack or brandy; boil, scraping pan bottom with wooden spatula to loosen browned bits, until liquid reduces to a glaze, about 2 1/2 minutes. Increase heat to high; add stock or broth, sage, and any accumulated pork juices; boil until liquid reaches consistency of maple syrup, about 3 minutes. Add cream; boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; return pork to pan, turning meat to coat. Simmer to heat pork thoroughly 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.

Tips:

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over medium heat until warmed through. - Serve the smothered pork medallions with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
