Pork Medallions with Mushroom Gravy
Perfect any night of the week, crusty pork medallions are served with rosemary-tinged mushroom gravy and hot buttery noodles for an easy, flavorful meal that's ready in only 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Two 12-ounce pork tenderloins, cut crosswise into 2-inch-thick medallions and lightly pounded
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup minced shallots
- 1 small rosemary sprig
- 2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- Buttered noodles, for serving
Instructions
- 1In a large skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil. Season the pork medallions with salt and pepper and dust them with flour, tapping off any excess. Add the medallions to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning once until browned outside and medium within, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate.
- 2Add the mushrooms to the skillet along with the shallots and rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the chicken stock and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes.
- 3Sprinkle the mushrooms with the 2 tablespoons of flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the remaining 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons of stock and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the skillet. Simmer the gravy over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- 4Return the pork to the skillet along with any accumulated juices and simmer over moderately low heat until warmed through, about 1 minute. Discard the rosemary sprig. Serve right away, with buttered noodles.
