PORK MEDALLIONS RECIPE JAMIE OLIVER



Pork Medallions Recipe Jamie Oliver image

These juicy pork medallions recipe by Jamie Oliver are pan-seared to perfection and served in a creamy mushroom sauce. It's a wonderful keto supper meal that's simple enough to make on a weekday yet sophisticated enough to serve for a special occasion. So flavorful and tender!

Provided by Imen Dridi

Categories     Main

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided(you can also use vegetable oil)
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 12 medallions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste,(I use about a sprinkle of ½ teaspoon kosher salt)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon sweet paprika, or to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 tablespoon butter, divided, plus a couple more pats of butter for the sauce
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
  • Make 12 slices of pork tenderloin.
  • Combine salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl.
  • Season each pork medallion with salt and pepper; push down on the medallions to secure the seasoning and flatten them to an equal thickness.
  • Cook for 3 minutes with half of the pork medallions in the pan. DO NOT overcrowd the pan as this may cause the meat to steam.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, or until the pork medallions are done, on the other side. When the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, it is done. The amount of time required to cook the medallions will also be determined by their thickness.
  • Remove the pork medallions from the pan and place them on a plate.
  • Rep with the remaining medallions; remove the second batch of pork from the skillet and put it aside.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and carefully pour in the chicken broth, being cautious of the smoke.
  • Continue to fry for 1 minute over medium-high heat, whisking to scrape up all the browned pieces from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add a couple of pats of butter and gently swirl to melt; you only need enough butter to slightly thicken the sauce.
  • Return the medallions to the skillet and heat through, spooning the sauce over the medallions.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • Serve garnished with parsley.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons Asian chili sauce (like Sriracha)
1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed of all silverskin, cut on the diagonal into 1/2 medallions
1 lb napa cabbage, thinly sliced (6 C)
1 cup grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
1 red bell pepper, cut in fine julienne
4 scallions (both white and green parts)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce (like Sriracha)
chopped roasted peanuts
chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • To make slaw: Toss the cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper and half of the scallions with the dressing. Let sit for 15 minutes, toss again and transfer to a large serving platter.
  • For pork: Mix together marinade ingredients (listed with pork). Toss the pork with 1/2 C of the sauce. Reserve the rest. Marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator or 25 minutes at room temperature.
  • Heat 2 T canola oil in a heavy 12" skillet over a med-high flame until shimmering hot. Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and transfer the pork to a clean plate. Discard the marinade and add half of the pork medallions to the skillet, spacing them evenly. Cook them without touching until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the pork is just cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Set the pork on top of the slaw. Pour out the oil and wipe the pan with paper towels (if the drippings on the bottom of the pan look like they may burn, wash the pan). Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 T canola oil and cook the remaining medallions in the same manner. Top the slaw with the remaining pork and pour the reserved sauce on top. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the rest of the sliced scallions, and your choice of garnish.
