Pork Medallions with Mushroom Sauce
Pork Medallions with Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
- 1.3 lb pork tenderloin
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp ghee (or make your own)
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup light chicken stock
- 1 tbsp fresh sage (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- 1
Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with the salt and pepper and slice into 8 equal sized medallions.
- 2
Melt a generous amount of ghee in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) set over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot enough, add the pork medallions and cook them for 4 minutes per side, without moving them, until they develop a nice golden crust. Remove to a plate to collect the juices.
- 3
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook them, stirring often, until they turn a beautiful golden color, about 5 minutes. Don't hesitate to add more ghee if and as necessary.
- 4
When the mushrooms are cooked to your liking, add the fresh herbs and chicken stock, followed with tapioca starch diluted in water; bring to the boil and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- 5
Add the medallions, along with their cooking juices, back into the pan and spoon some sauce over them.
- 6
Kill the heat and allow the meat to sit in the sauce for about 5 minutes, then serve.
