Pork Medallions With Wine And Sage Recipes

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH WINE AND SAGE

Steps:

• Season medallions with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in frying pan and sear medallions on both sides on high heat.
• Remove medallions and set aside.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, then lower the heat and scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan stirring for 5 minutes.
• Add the consomme and sage, stir well, and add the medallions back into the sauce.
• Simmer until the pork is done to your liking. I like my medallions just after it has been cooked past med-rare, when it is still a little pink and tender. Using the touch test, it's done when it "gives a very little" when touched on top, in the middle. If it does NOT give, it is definitely done, perhaps a little over done.
• So, when your pork is done, whisk in the butter and serve the pork with a bit of sauce on top.

SMOTHERED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH SAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the pork medallions well and season with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Lay the pork in the pan and cook until browned on the first side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the second side browns, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a plate, and cover loosely with foil.
• 2. Add the onions to the skillet, stir and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and reduce heat to medium and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the cider vinegar and stir, scraping up the browned bits that cling to the skillet. Add the onions to the pork.
• 3. Add the 1 tablespoon butter to skillet, raise heat to medium-high. Add the apples and sage; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and mustard, and simmer until the apples soften, about 2 minutes. Return the onions and any accumulated juices from the pork to the skillet. Simmer to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. (If desired swirl in up to 2 tablespoons of butter to thicken the sauce). Nestle the pork in the onions and heat until just warmed through. Divide the pork among 4 plates and top with the apples and onions. Serve.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH GRAPES AND PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil, add the onions, and cook until almost tender but not falling apart (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the onion-cooking broth.
• Cut each pork tenderloin into 6 chunks. With a meat mallet, pound each to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
• In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of the butter in the olive oil. Spread flour on a plate for dredging. Season the pork with 1/2 tsp of salt, and lightly dredge it in the flour. Brown the pork on both sides, about 2 minutes per side, and remove to a plate.
• Add the onions to the skillet, and let them cook a few minutes until lightly carmelized. Add the white wine, and bring to a boil. Once the wine is almost reduced, add the sage, the reserved onion-cooking broth, and the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes, until it is reduced by almost half. Whisk in the vinegar and the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Add the pork back to the skillet with the grapes, and simmer until the sauce is thickened and grapes just begin to soften (about 3-4 minutes).
