Print Recipe

Tender pork medallions seared to perfection and served in a rich, creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. A quick and easy dinner that’s both comforting and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced into 1-inch medallions
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper for seasoning final sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork medallions dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Heat until oil shimmers but does not smoke.
  3. Add pork medallions in a single layer without crowding. Cook about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove pork to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add shallots and garlic to the same pan and cook until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Warm through for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour in white wine or broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer gently until sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves if using.
  8. Return pork medallions to the pan, spoon sauce over them, and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more broth or cream to loosen it. The creamy sauce helps keep pork moist if slightly overcooked. For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a good sear. Use medium-high heat and watch for oil shimmer before searing.
