Pork Tenderloin Medallions in Bleu Cheese Sauce

So much yum on one plate…

My husband is the pork tenderloin cooking king! Pretty sure I was mostly in his way making this one. We’ve done this recipe before, but not w/ photos, so I wanted to *help*…

This cream sauce is so rich!

Pork Tenderloin Medallions in Bleu Cheese Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/2″-thick medallions
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 Tbsp crumbled bleu cheese
• 1 Tbsp fresh parsley (leaves only), chopped
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

1. Combine 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper in a ramekin and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat on stovetop.
3. Add 1/2 of 1/2″-thick medallions to skillet and sprinkle with 1/2 of salt & pepper seasoning blend.
4. Cook for 3-4 mins then flip and cook for another 3-4 mins.
5. Transfer medallions to a plate and keep warm. I keep my plate in the microwave while I’m cooking the 2nd batch.
6. Repeat steps 3 – 5 for the remaining medallions.
7. Stir in 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves to skillet and bring to a boil, deglazing skillet as you go (fancy way of saying to scrape the stuck-on browned bits of pork from the skillet).
8. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened.
9. Add 3 Tbsp crumbled bleu cheese, stirring constantly until melted.
10. Plate medallions then spoon sauce over them.
