Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Medallions
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of coarse grain mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine to this mixture, whisking until everything is well combined.
- Rub this mustard mixture evenly over the pork tenderloins, ensuring every part of the meat is coated with the flavorful blend.
- Once the pork is coated, place the tenderloins in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours. This will allow the pork to marinate and absorb the rich flavors.
Step 2: Roast the Pork
- Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
- Place a rack inside a roasting pan and set the marinated pork tenderloins on the rack. This allows the heat to circulate around the pork, ensuring an even roast.
- Roast the tenderloins for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C). Be sure to baste the pork every ten minutes with the reserved wine from the marinade for extra moisture and flavor.
Step 3: Make the Mustard Sauce
- While the pork is roasting, begin preparing the mustard sauce.
- In a small saucepan, add 1/4 cup of whipping cream and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to reduce to about 1 1/4 cups, which should take around 15 minutes. Be careful not to let the cream boil.
- Once reduced, stir in 2 tablespoons of coarse grain mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 3/4 teaspoons of white pepper. Continue heating for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and well-combined.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of butter to add richness and shine to the sauce.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
- Once the pork is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the pork tenderloin into 3/4-inch thick medallions.
- Arrange 4 slices on each plate and spoon the creamy mustard sauce around the tenderloin medallions. For an added touch, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and flavor.
Tips for Success
- Marinating Time: If you’re short on time, you can marinate the pork for as little as 2 hours, but for the best flavor, allow the pork to marinate overnight.
- Wine Options: If you donβt have dry white wine on hand, a dry white vermouth or even a splash of white wine vinegar can be used as a substitute.
- Creaminess Adjustments: For a lighter sauce, substitute the heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or a milk-based cream alternative.
This Pork Medallions in Mustard Sauce recipe is sure to become a family favorite, offering a delightful mix of savory flavors and tender meat. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or making a meal for your loved ones, itβs a dish that is sure to impress every time.
