Creating a delightful meal doesn’t always require complex recipes. Case in point: Roasted Pork Medallion Steaks. In this straightforward yet scrumptious dish, we transform pork tenderloin fillet into succulent medallions with ease. Even if you’re new to the kitchen, this recipe is your ticket to a satisfying, restaurant-quality dinner. Let’s begin!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pork tenderloin fillet
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, take your pork tenderloin fillet and trim any excess fat. Then, slice it into medallions, each about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  2. Season the Medallions: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade. Brush the medallions generously with this mixture on both sides.
  3. Sear the Medallions: Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add a splash of olive oil. Carefully place the pork medallions in the skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork medallions for about 8-10 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This will give you perfectly juicy, slightly pink centers.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the medallions rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat succulent. After resting, serve your Roasted Pork Medallion Steaks hot, garnished with some fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For even more flavor, marinate the pork medallions for an hour or two in the refrigerator before cooking. Don’t skip the searing step. It locks in the juices and adds a beautiful caramelized crust. Feel free to customize your seasonings. Fresh herbs, like thyme and rosemary, are great, but you can experiment with your favorites. Pair these pork medallions with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light salad for a complete meal.
