Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, trim, remove and discard all excess silver to white connective tissue on one side of the meat called silverskin.
- Slice the tenderloin into 3/4-inch medallions and pat dry with paper towel. Transfer to bowl.
- Add the melted butter and Cajun seasoning and toss to coat well.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan over high heat for 5 minutes (be sure to cook in well ventilated area).
- Sear each piece of pork on one side until a crust forms and turn over cooking another minute or two.
- Serve immediately. I like to serve with lemon slices to squeeze over with steamed rice or mashed potatoes and vegetable of choice.
Notes
- Feel free to try my Cajun Blackened Seasoning to. It's ingredients lend a better result with beef, although it's just as tasty on pork or chicken, too.
