Why You Must Make

• Using pork medallions makes for a quick entree!
• The combination of sweet, tangy, and savory makes a richly flavored dish.
• This recipe uses mostly pantry ingredients, just pick up some pork, mushrooms, and fresh rosemary.

Expert Tips

• Make sure you purchase pork tenderloin, not the thicker pork loin.
• Cut into 1/2-1-inch slices. Note that the thinner the slices are, the faster they’ll cook.
• If you’d like larger medallions, cut them thicker and use a meat mallet to pound them into larger rounds. Note that this process also tenderizes meat.
• Make sure to season your pork before cooking. You can always dust with additional salt later, but seasoning ahead of time will allow the salt to infuse into the meat, draw out some liquid, and help make a crusty coating.
• Do not overcook. The pork will be dry if it’s cooked too long. PRO-Tip: Monitor the temperature and remove it from the pan when they reach 145-150° for the moistest, juiciest medallions.
