Best Pork Medallions With Red Currant Sauce Recipes

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC-RED CURRANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, thyme, rosemary, onion salt, garlic powder, oregano, marjoram, kosher salt and pepper. Massage the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
• Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until deep brown.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees. Turn over once halfway through roasting. Remove the pork from the skillet and wrap in tin foil. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Using the same skillet, place it over medium-high heat on the stove top. Stir the butter into the pan drippings, until melted. Deglaze with the chicken broth, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the jelly and balsamic vinegar. Add the orange zest, parsley, thyme, rosemary and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring the sauce to a boil and continue to cook and stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
• Slice the pork tenderloin. Pour the sauce over all.
• Enjoy!

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH PRUNES

Steps:

• Simmer the prunes in one cup white wine until tender (about 30 minutes), adding a little water if necessary. Set aside.
• Wipe the pork medallions dry with paper towels and dredge them lightly with flour. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and brown the pork on both sides.
• Add the remaining wine, red currant jelly, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and add the prunes. Cook the medallions, stirring frequently, for four to five minutes or until they have lost their pinkness in the middle. Do not overcook them or they will be tough. If the sauce needs it, add a little lemon juice to cut any sweetness.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the pork medallions with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the meat until there is just a slight blush in the center about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil.
• Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the shallots to the pan and saute until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the cherries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve.
