Pork Medallions With Cider Sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 12 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 cup apple cider
- 12 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- salt & pepper
- Cut the pork tenderloin into 2" - thick medallions and season with salt.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork for 5 minutes on each side or until brown.
- (The trick to well-seared meat is resisting the urge to move the meat too soon.
- The meat will "unstick" when a perfect crust is formed.
- ).
- Add apple cider, wine and apple cider vinegar.
- (This will deglaze the pan and release the brown bits stuck at the bottom.
- ).
- Bring to a boil, cover and cook 5 minutes.
- Remove lid, reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes more.
- Turn pork occasionally.
- Transfer the pork to a plate and season with pepper.
- Cover with foil to keep warm.
- This part is important: Simmer the liquids until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- The sauce should be thick and syrupy and should coat the back of a spoon.
- This could take 10 to 20 minutes (depending on your stove and the size of the pan you are using).
- DO NOT over-reduce, it will scorch.
- Spoon the cider sauce over the medallions and serve.
