Mediterranean Pork Medallions

Mediterranean Pork MedallionsI was in the mood for Greek flavors so I cut up a pork tenderloin into medallions and marinated them in a combination of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. The pork took minutes to cook and turned out moist, tender and had a delicious Mediterranean flavor. My entire family loved this dish and gobbled up every last bite.

Mediterranean Pork Medallions:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pork tenderloin, sliced into medallions
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

How to Make Mediterranean Pork Medallions

Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin then slice into same size medallions.

Combine all of the ingredients together in a large zip lock bag. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Coat a grill pan with cooking spray then heat over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, lay the pork medallions down in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the pork over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy.

Note: If you want a sauce, you can double the marinade recipe and boil it for a couple of minutes after the pork cooks then drizzle over the pork medallions before serving.

  3. I am not good at preparing pork but your recipe seems so easy 🙂 Worth trying 🙂 Thanks for sharing dear!

  4. These look delicious! I love halving the pork chops and pounding them really thin before treating them to the pan … love a 'saltimbocca' treatment.Have you tried tha? Veal is a tough meat for me to take, as I always think of the treatment of the calves, but pork makes an acceptable exchange for me.

  5. Oh man, I played around with a sauce that would have gone perfectly on top of that last week. I might have to steal this from you and add it to my sauce.

    Glad to see you two back in the kitchen!@
