This easy-to-make recipe takes just 40 minutes and features only five ingredients, combining the tender, juicy pork with the salty, rich taste of blue cheese. Perfect for any blue cheese lover looking for a quick yet luxurious meal.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 g) butter
- 1.1 lb (500 g) pork tenderloin (adjust the amount based on the desired serving size)
- 1.5 cup (360 mL) heavy cream
- 3.5 oz (100 g) blue cheese (Dor Blu, Gorgonzola, or a similar type)
- ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the pork tenderloin into 0.5-inch wide slices, then tenderize the slices using a meat pounder.
- Preheat a skillet and melt approx. 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
- Fry the pork slices in batches until golden brown on both sides. Then transfer to a sauté pan.
- Pour heavy cream over the pork medallions in the sauté pan, add crumbled blue cheese and ground black pepper on top.
- Sauté over low heat for at least 30 minutes or until tender.
- Serve with green salad, potatoes, rice, or another garnish of your choice. Sprinkle with fresh dill (optional).
Notes
- Serving options: with your favorite green salad, oven-baked or mashed potatoes, rice, steamed cauliflower or other veggies, or roasted baby potatoes.
- The pork medallions can also be baked in the oven, pre-frying them quickly in the skillet on high heat to achieve a beautiful brown crust.
