This is my husband’s all time favorite preparation for pork tenderloin. It is remarkably easy and fast and I usually serve it with Parslied Yellow Beans.
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- vegetable spray
Instructions
- Trim tenderloin of fat and silver skin.
- Slice tenderloin into 1 1/2" thick medallions.
- Place medallions on a sheet of parchment paper, leaving a little space between each medallion and then cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Pound each medallion with a rolling pin or flat mallet, until each medallion is roughly twice the original size.
- Season both sides with kosher salt and set aside for about an hour before searing
Searing
- Spray a large non-stick frying pan with vegetable spray and heat the pan over high heat until the pan starts to smoke
- Place medallions in the pan, do not overlap, and sear for 2-3 minutes, or until first side starts to brown
- Turn the medallions over and sear for another 2-3 minutes
- Remove from heat and place on a platter
