Pork Medallions

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork tenderloin is a lean protein, making it a heart-healthy alternative to fattier cuts. Balsamic vinegar adds rich flavor without extra calories, and honey brings natural sweetness in place of refined sugar.

Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 cup chicken broth

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp honey

2 cloves garlic


Directions

1.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a sharp knife to cut the pork tenderloin into even medallions, approximately 1 inch thick.

2.

Season the pork medallions with salt and black pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

3.

Add the pork medallions to the hot skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until well browned.

4.

Remove the pork medallions from the skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

5.

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to deglaze and loosen browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

6.

Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey, then add the pork medallions back into the skillet along with any accumulated juices.

7.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender.

8.

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon sauce over each medallion for additional flavor.
