PORK ESSENTIALS: MARINATED TENDERLOIN MEDALLIONS
Pork is such a versatile ingredient. From baking, to frying, to braising, to grilling, this baby does it all. This is not a difficult recipe to assemble, and the marinade gives the medallions a wonderfully savory taste. Laid on a bed of greens and drizzled with a simple pan sauce, this recipe is awesome. So, you ready......
