Mushroom Pork Medallions Recipes

PORK MEDALLIONS IN MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Prep pork: Trim silver skin from the pork tenderloin and cut crosswise into 12 medallions. Press each medallion with the palm of your hand to flatten to a about 1/2-inch even thickness. Whisk the flour and all pork seasoning together in a shallow dish. Dredge each medallion in the mixture, shake off any excess, then transfer to a dry surface.
• Cook pork: Melt the 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add HALF of the pork medallions in a single layer and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side. Pork is cooked through when internal temperature registers at 145˚F. Cooking time will also depend on the thickness of the medallions. Transfer pork to a plate, tent with foil and repeat with remaining pork.
• Caramelize mushrooms: Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Increase temperature to medium-high and add half of the mushrooms. Give them a stir to evenly coat in the butter then arrange mushrooms in a single layer. Cook mushrooms for 3 minutes per side or until golden. Once evenly browned, season mushrooms lightly with freshly cracked salt and pepper and give them a stir. Remove mushrooms from skillet and repeat with remaining mushrooms; transfer all mushrooms to a plate.
• Gravy: To the now empty skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add shallot and sauté over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes to soften. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in beef broth. Add soy sauce, Worcestershire, Dijon, beef bouillon, and all seasonings. Bring to a simmer until thickened. Once thickened to desired consistency, stir the mushrooms into the gravy.
• Assemble: Nestle the pork medallions into the pan and spoon some gravy over top. Cook over medium for a few minutes to warm through. Taste and season with salt and/or pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve over mashed potatoes (recommended), rice or pasta.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Cut each boneless pork chop into 2 pieces.
• In a shallow dish, combine the egg, water, rosemary, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Put the McCormick's Crusting Blends into a ziploc gallon bag. (I use the garlic, lemon and rosemary flavor, but you can use which ever you desire, or for that matter just seasoned bread crumbs).
• Dip the pork into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumbs, shaking until well coated.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the pork in the oil for 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a 9 x 13 baking dish; keep warm in the oven.
• In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms in the butter until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the soup, sour cream, and broth.
• Pour mushroom and gravy mixture over the pork.
• Cover and bake until the pork is tender and the juices run clear when the pork is pierced with a fork; about 45 minutes.
• NOTE: Try this recipe with chicken or turkey cutlets in place of the pork (reduce cooking time slightly). You could even use beef steaks, if you like.
