Crispy Pork Medallions Recipes

CRISPY PORK MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then spray a wire rack with cooking spray and place it on the baking sheet, and set aside.
• Cut tenderloin into 1-inch slice medallions.
• Lay medallions on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound each piece with a kitchen mallet until all pieces are about 1/2-inch in thickness.
• Using a butter knife, spread a very light coating of the spreadable cheese on each side of the medallions.
• Place the breadcrumbs and seasoned salt in a shallow bowl and coat each slice of cheese-covered pork in the bread crumbs. Then place on the wire rack/baking sheet.
• Spray the pork with cooking spray and bake in the center of the oven for 20-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the medallions registers 145°F. Remove from the oven and let rest just a few minutes before serving.
• Optional, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with a drizzle of ranch dressing or pork gravy.

CRISPY PORK MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Lay your pork medallions between 2 sheets of clingfilm. Gently bash them with a rolling pin until they're about half the thickness from when you started (you want them firm enough so that they flatten slightly, but not so hard that they start to break apart).
• Finely grate the parmesan cheese (35g). Make your crispy coating by mixing together the Japanese panko breadcrumbs (75g), garlic granules (1 tsp), grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt in a large flattish bowl (I have a little taste to check the amount of salt is right at this point).
• You now want to coat the pork medallions in the breadcrumbs. Put the plain flour (1 heaped tbsp) into a large flat bowl. Crack the egg into another bowl and beat it with a fork until the yolk and white are combined. Dip your pork medallion into the flour and ensure it's fully coated. Then dip it into the egg, again ensuring it's fully coated. Finally dip it into the breadcrumb mix, ensuring it's fully coated once again. Place the medallion onto a plate and repeat until all of the medallions are coated.
• Add olive oil to a large frying pan (you want there to be a thin coating of oil across the whole pan). Heat on a low-medium heat until hot. Once hot, add the pork medallion and fry for 2 minutes, flip them over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden. Once cooked, remove the medallions from the pan and place onto a sheet of kitchen towel to soak up any excess oil. Leave to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

PORK TENDERLOIN MEDALLIONS WITH CRISPY PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into 2 ounces small pieces. Season each piece with salt, pepper, and minced rosemary. Roll each piece of tenderloin in a 1/2 slice of prosciutto, keeping it in place with a toothpick if needed.
• In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium. When hot, place the minced garlic and wrapped tenderloins in the skillet. Be sure to space them apart so they will caramelize well. If they all don't fit in the skillet, cook in them batches. Cook one side until golden and crispy. Turning only once, flip the other side and cook until crispy and golden and the center is no longer pink.
• Transfer to a platter, add a drizzle of extra olive oil and balsamic on top of each portion.

CRISP PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CREAMY CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make sauce - Stir together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined, then chill, covered, until ready to use.
• Cook pork - Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut pork crosswise into 1 ¼" thick slices (medallions).
• Whisk together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Whisk together eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl and put bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
• Working with 1 medallion at a time, dredge them in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Arrange pork in 1 layer on baking sheet.
• Heat 1/4" oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then panfry medallions, turning over once, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes total.
• Transfer to a clean baking sheet and roast in oven until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of meat registers 145-150F, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Serve pork with sauce, lemon wedges and watercress.
