Pan Fried Pork Medallions With Creamy Wine Sauce Recipes

PORK MEDALLIONS IN WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove all visible fat and tough sinew from the pork tenderloin. Cut the meat crosswise into 1-1 1/2 inch medallions.
• Place each medallion, cut sie up, on a cutting board between two pieces of plastic wrap. Flatten with broad side of a wide knife or rolling pin to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large non-stick skillet. Saute the medallions 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
• Let skillet cool slightly. Add shallots to oil and butter mixture remaining in skillet and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook 1 minute. Add sherry, chicken stock and vinegar. Bring mixture to a boil and boil rapidly until liquid is reduced by half. Turn off heat.
• Cut remaining tablespoon of butter into small chunks and stir into sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper or more vinegar if desired.
• Serve pork medallions covered in mushroom sauce.

PAN-FRIED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CREOLE HONEY-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Start with the sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook for 1 minute, just to soften it a bit. Add the mustard, wine, Mutha Sauce, honey, and Creole Seasoning. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Keep warm on a back burner.
• Sharpen your knife and slice the pork loin into 3/4-inch medallions. You should get about 10. Season liberally on both sides with Creole Seasoning.
• Drag a large cast-iron skillet over to the stove and turn the heat up to high. Heat the pan til smoking hot, about 10 minutes. Pour in the oil and heat for about 30 seconds. Add a few medallions-don't crowd the pan-and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Take them out and put them on a platter. Keep warm while you cook the rest of the medallions.
• Swirl the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the warm sauce. Serve these tasty medallions with some of the sauce spooned over each one. Any sauce that's left can be passed for ladling at the table.

MEDALLIONS OF PORK WITH RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the pork slices on a flat surface. Pound the meat lightly with a mallet or meat pounder. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Combine the ginger, thyme, bay leaf, clove, wine, vinegar and honey in a bowl and blend well. Place the sliced pork in a dish. Pour the mixture over the pork and marinate for 10 minutes.
• Drain the pork medallions and pat dry. Reserve the marinade.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When the oil is hot add the slices of meat and cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until browned. Turn the slices and cook about 5 minutes more. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the meat to a warm serving platter. Keep warm.
• In the same skillet, add the shallots and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the reserved marinade and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom. Add any juices that have accumulated from the platter. Scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula and cook until the marinade is reduced to 3/4 of its original quantity. Swirl in the butter and pour the sauce over the medallions. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.
