Pork medallions are easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but they’re also an impressive dish to serve when entertaining. It’s the recipe we keep up our sleeve for special occasions like birthday dinners, date nights (like Valentine’s Day), or when we have unexpected company. To make them, simply slice your pork tenderloin into rounds, season each one, and sear them until they’re golden on both sides. Use the same pan to make a little pan sauce from chicken stock and a bit of butter for richness. These juicy pork medallions taste incredible with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Serve them with a side of veggies for a complete meal that everyone will rave about!
Seasonings – we use a flavorful mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. This spice mix is the same one we use in our popular baked pork chops recipe. Pork tenderloin – look for pork tenderloin that has a pinkish-red color and even marbling. Olive oil – for frying the pork medallions. Chicken stock – this becomes the base of the flavorful sauce. Butter – to add body and flavor to the savory sauce. Fresh parsley – for garnish.
Pork tenderloin is a specific cut of pork that’s long, lean, and somewhat thin. It comes from a muscle that runs along a pig’s backbone and is often sold in packages of two. Pork tenderloin is not to be confused with pork loin which is a much bigger and tougher cut of meat. If this is your first time making pork medallions, be prepared to be blown away! They also taste great with rice or pasta. For a lighter option, try them with our popular cauliflower mashed potatoes!
