Rosemary Sage Pork Medallions Recipes

ROSEMARY PORK MEDALLIONS WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Toss with flour to coat lightly; shake off excess., In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add pork; cook until tender, 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan; keep warm., In same pan, add broth, garlic and rosemary; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Cook until liquid is reduced by a third, 2-3 minutes. Stir in peas; cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes longer. Serve with pork.

ROASTED PORK WITH SAGE, ROSEMARY, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using a long knife with a thin blade or a clean sharpening steel, make a channel lengthwise through the center of the loin running from one end to the other.
• Mix the chopped sage and rosemary in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then poke it through the channel in the meat (I find it easiest to work from both ends more or less at once).
• Season the outside of the loin generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the loin. Brown the meat on all sides and on each end, about 8 minutes in all.
• Add the herb sprigs and crushed garlic to the pan and put it in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the loin and roast 15 minutes more, basting from time to time with the pan drippings.
• Remove the pan from the oven, cover with foil, and set aside in a warm place for 15 minutes to rest the meat. To serve, cut the loin into generous slices, season with sea salt, and drizzle with the pan juices.
• Chef's notes:
• If you are roasting a larger, thicker loin, make two channels through the meat so the seasoning can be better distributed. Cook the loin longer.
• If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I prefer pork cooked so it's still a little pink at the center. You can expect a reading before the final resting of about 135°F. If you like your pork more thoroughly cooked, cook it until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.

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.
