Pork Medallions with Creamy Mushroom Marsala Sauce
Description
This recipe for Pork Medallions with Creamy Mushroom Marsala Sauce begins by browning pork loin medallions in butter on the stovetop, before finishing their cooking in a hot oven to ensure juiciness and tenderness. Meanwhile, onions, garlic, and mushrooms are sautéed until soft and flavorful. Marsala wine and heavy cream are added to create a lush sauce that simmers and thickens.
The sauce combines the earthy flavor of mushrooms with the subtle sweetness and depth of Marsala wine, balanced by the richness of cream. The pork medallions absorb some of the sauce when served, enhancing their mild flavor and tender texture.
The dish can be served on its own or alongside sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. The creamy sauce and pork medallions together make a satisfying main course suitable for various occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoon butter
- 1 pork loin filet Smithfield marinated steakhouse mushroom
- 1 onion medium
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz mushrooms
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- ½ cup marsala wine
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F with the rack in the middle.
- Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large oven-safe (cast iron skillet or Dutch oven will work) skillet over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, add pork loin and brown on all sides (about 6 minutes total).
- Place skillet in the oven and bake at 400 F for about 13 - 15 minutes, flipping the pork loin over halfway through baking. Bake until center of pork registers 160 F then transfer to a cutting board and let the meat rest for 5 - 10 minutes.
- While pork loin is baking, melt remaining 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for a couple of minutes until onion is translucent and soft. Add sliced mushrooms and stir. Season everything generously with salt and pepper. Let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When mushrooms are tender, add wine and heavy whipping cream. Stir and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens. The sauce will thicken more when it cools off. Season the creamy mushroom marsala sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice pork loin in medallions and serve topped with the creamy mushroom marsala sauce.
- You can also serve the pork medallions with potatoes and a light salad.
