Pork Medallions Recipe
Description
This Pork Medallions Recipe uses pork tenderloin sliced into rounds and seasoned with sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano along with salt and pepper. The medallions are pan-seared in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides, locking in juices and creating a flavorful crust.
After searing, a pan sauce is created by deglazing with chicken stock and whisking in butter to thicken and enrich the sauce. The medallions are returned to the pan to coat with this glossy sauce, uniting the flavors.
The dish is finished with minced parsley for freshness and color, suitable as a main dish served alongside vegetables, grains, or potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika each
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano each
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pork tenderloin cut into 12 pieces each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons butter
- parsley to serve, minced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the pork tenderloin into medallions (slices) and dry them with paper towels. Season both sides of the pork medallions with the spices.
- Working in 2 batches, heat the olive oil in a large, cast iron frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the medallions for 2-3 minutes then flip them over and sear on the other side until golden. Remove the cooked medallions and then add extra olive oil for the second batch, if needed.
- Remove the medallions from the pan and add the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits. Add the butter and whisk it into the sauce so it thickens a little bit.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cooked pork medallions and any accumulated juices. Stir them so that they're coated in the sauce and then sprinkle a little minced parsley over the top.
