A quick and hearty one-pot pork skillet with potatoes, cabbage, and a tangy Irish mustard glaze, perfect for festive meals like St Patrick’s Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into medallions
  • 1 pound small potatoes, halved or quartered (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • Half a medium head green cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Irish mustard
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: slice pork tenderloin into ½-inch thick medallions, halve or quarter potatoes, chop cabbage, slice onion thinly, and mince garlic. Set aside. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)
  3. Season pork medallions with salt and pepper. Sear in hot skillet 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside. (6 minutes)
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add onions and garlic to skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. (4 minutes)
  5. Add potatoes and thyme to skillet, stirring to coat. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes get some color. (5 minutes)
  6. Pour in chicken broth and stir to deglaze pan. Stir in Irish mustard until combined. Return pork medallions to skillet, nestling among potatoes. (3 minutes)
  7. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are tender and pork is cooked through. Stir once halfway. (15 minutes)
  8. Remove lid, stir in chopped cabbage and butter if using. Cover and cook another 5 minutes until cabbage is tender but bright green. (5 minutes)
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Let sit off heat for a couple minutes before serving. (2 minutes)

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when searing pork to ensure proper browning. Use fresh thyme if possible for best aroma. If potatoes are not soft after simmering, add more broth and cook a few more minutes. The mustard glaze is key for flavor—don’t skip it. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use almond or oat milk broth.
