Elegant Pork Medallions in Stilton Cider Sauce image

I had this meal at a lovely restaurant and then found a similar recipe on a blog. It's TO DIE FOR and could not be easier to make! It would be great to serve to guests or as the main course for a romantic dinner! It is perfection served with Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into inch thick rounds
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely diced
3 1/2 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup table cream
1/4 cup cider
12 fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the tenderloin into 1" thick rounds. Dredge in flour salt and pepper and put aside.
  • Gently fry the onion and the chopped rosemary leaves in a little butter until the onion is soft and transparent.
  • Add the stock, and cider and then gradually add the crumbled Stilton allowing it to melt inches.
  • Add the cream and let the mixture bubble down until it is thick and reduced by approx 2/3. (I gently simmered for an hour stirring frequently).
  • Then fry the pork medallions in batches for about 6 minutes per side. You want the pork to still be juicy.
  • Toss the pork in the sauce and serve, garnished with a sprig of rosemary.
