Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin cut into ½ inch slices and pounded
- 1 shallot chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 8-10 sun-dried tomatoes in oil chopped
- 1 tbsp oil from sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth (or 1 tablespoon of Better than Bouillon with 2 cups of water)
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- 3-4 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter) or cooking oil
- 1 tbsp Wondra flour (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pork: remove any white film from the pork tenderloins. Then cut the meat into ½ inch slices; using a tenderizer, pound the medallions into flat cutlets. Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the veggies: chop the shallot, mince the garlic, and chop the sun-dried tomatoes
- Cook the pork: heat up ghee or oil in the large cast iron or frying pan, sear the meat on a hot pan for 2-3 minutes and then flip to the other side, and cook until golden brown, and remove from the pan onto a plate. Do not overcrowd the medallions; cook about 5-6 at a time, and cook them in batches until all the meat is cooked. Add fat in between as needed. Once all the meat is cooked, remove it all onto a plate.
- Make the sauce: add oil from sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and add shallots, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add white wine and deglaze the pan for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream and broth.
- Put it all together: Return the meat to the sauce, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes until the meat is super tender.
- Thickening the sauce (optional): If the sauce is too loose, you may thicken it up with a little Wondra flour or regular all-purpose flour. Put 1 tablespoon of flour into a cup, pour 1/3 cup of cold water, and mix it well. Once mixed, pour it over the sauce, stir, and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens out a bit.
- Garnish: Add chopped parsley on top, and you may also add a few sun-dried tomatoes for an amazing-looking dish. Enjoy!
