Pork medallions with port sauce

6 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2poundsPork tenderloin, trimmed
Salt and pepper to taste
Flour, as needed
2tablespoonsUnsalted butter or margarine
2tablespoonsOlive oil
1cupChicken stock
1cupPort wine

Directions

1. Slice the tenderloin crosswise into medallions ½" thick.

Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, and then dredge each in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess.

2. Heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet at medium high. Saute the medallions in small batches until browned, 1 minute per side.

Turn only once. Remove each batch to an ovenproof serving dish; keep warm in a 225 degree oven.

3. Prepare the sauce: put the skillet, with the meat drippings, on a high heat; add the chicken stock and wine. Bring to a boil, scrap- ping and stirring until some of the broth evaporates. Keep cooking the sauce until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.

4. Serve the meat with the sauce spooned over the top of each medal- lion.
