Pork Medallions Marsala with Mushrooms

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pork tenderloins about 1 ½ lbs total, trimmed and cut into 1-inch medallions
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine sweet or dry
  • 1 cup chicken stock low-sodium
  • ½ cup heavy cream optional, for a richer sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pork: Slice pork tenderloin into medallions, about 1-inch thick. Season generously with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Sear: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork medallions in batches, about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden but not fully cooked. Transfer to a plate.
  • Cook the mushrooms: Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté mushrooms until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Deglaze with Marsala: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Finish the sauce: Add chicken stock and optional cream. Return pork medallions to the skillet, nestling into the sauce. Simmer gently 5–7 minutes, until pork is cooked through (145°F internal temperature).
  • Serve: Garnish with thyme or parsley. Serve over mashed potatoes, polenta, or buttered pasta
