Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 large lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
You’d need a skillet, meat mallet, and zester for this recipe.
The key player in this dish is your pork tenderloin. Choosing a succulent, quality piece will ensure you lock in that oh-so-satisfactory taste. The garlic and lemon will bring out its natural flavor, while your olive oil will keep your meat from turning dry.
Oh, don’t forget, there’s no harm in adding a little bit more garlic if you’re a fan of its distinctive punch. Also, if lemons aren’t your thing, you can substitute them with limes for a different yet delicious twist!
How To Make Pork Medallions with Lemon Garlic Sauce
Slice the pork into 1 inch sections, and flatten each piece with a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on each side.
Zest and juice the lemon. Add this, along with minced garlic, to the skillet. Saute until the sauce thickens.
Serve the pork drizzled with plenty of the lemon garlic sauce. Enjoy!
