Pork Medallions in Mushroom Gravy

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of pork, providing high-quality protein with less saturated fat than many other cuts. Mushrooms add umami flavor while contributing B vitamins and antioxidants.

These Pork Medallions in Mushroom Gravy transform simple pork tenderloin into an elegant, restaurant-worthy dish that’s surprisingly easy to make. The tender medallions are seared to perfection, then simmered in a rich, creamy mushroom gravy that captures all those wonderful pan-seared flavors. It’s comfort food with a sophisticated twist that’s perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

If you love this elegant, creamy combination, you’ll also enjoy our Blue Cheese Sauce with Pork Medallions for another luxurious pork dish with bold flavors. For a similar mushroom-forward creation, try our Mushroom Stuffed Chicken. It delivers that same earthy, savory appeal with tender protein that pairs beautifully with these rich, gravy-based dishes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb pork tenderloin

    • 1/2 tsp salt

    • 1/4 tsp black pepper

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 cup beef broth

    • 1/2 cup heavy cream

    • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

    • 1 tbsp cornstarch

    • 2 tbsp water

    Directions

    • Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch medallions and season with salt and black pepper for even flavor distribution.
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork medallions and cook for about 3 minutes per side until browned.
    • Remove pork from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes.
    • Pour beef broth into the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
    • Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then stir into the skillet to thicken the sauce.
    • Reduce heat to low, return pork medallions to the skillet, and let simmer in the gravy for 10 minutes until fully cooked.
    • Add heavy cream to the skillet, stir to combine, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
    • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving the pork medallions hot, alongside a choice of sides.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Nathan’s Famous Just Upgraded Its 110-Year-Old Hot Dog — Here’s What’s Different

    Grass-fed beef offers real nutritional advantages over conventional grain-fed beef — including higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and a leaner fat profile. If you’re grilling this summer, pairing a grass-fed frank with a whole grain bun and topping it with mustard and fresh vegetables instead of high-sodium relishes is an easy way to make the meal more balanced. Keeping portions in check and rounding out your cookout spread with grilled vegetables, fruit, and water-forward drinks goes a long way toward a healthier summer grilling season overall.

    Garlic Butter Dinner Rolls

    Making dinner rolls from scratch gives you complete control over what goes in—no preservatives, no additives, and you can reduce the butter or swap in whole wheat flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour to add fiber. Homemade bread is also surprisingly satisfying in smaller portions because the flavor and texture are so much more developed than store-bought alternatives.
