QUICK PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CHAMPIGNON IN CREAMY SOY SAUCE
Ready in just 10 minutes! Tender pork medallions and champignon mushrooms quickly sautΓ©ed and enveloped in a luscious creamy sauce with soy.
π Prep & Cook Time: 10 minutes
π½οΈ Servings: 2
π½οΈ Ingredients
- 1/2 pork tenderloin (middle section, trimmed)
- 15 small champignon mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp butter (about 30 g)
- 1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce (Japanese style)
- 3 tbsp cooking cream (15% fat)
- 1 tbsp oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
π©βπ³ Instructions
- Slice the middle part of the pork tenderloin into 1 cm thick medallions (about 10 slices). Season with pepper.
- Remove mushroom stems and gently wipe caps with a damp lemon-water cloth.
- Heat oil in a skillet large enough for the medallions. Add mushrooms and sautΓ© over medium-high heat until golden on all sides. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
- Arrange pork slices in the skillet without overcrowding and sear on one side for up to 2 minutes. Flip medallions, then add mushrooms back to the skillet.
- Once the pork is browned on the second side, remove skillet from heat. Add crushed garlic and toss to coat pork and mushrooms with the aroma.
- Add butter and stir until fully melted and coats the meat and mushrooms.
- Return skillet to medium heat and stir in soy sauce and cream. Heat gently until the sauce thickens slightly (about 1 minute), avoiding vigorous boiling to prevent curdling.
- Remove immediately from heat. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Serve immediately with steamed broccoli florets and a spoonful of cooked basmati rice.
π‘ Tips
- Use the middle section of tenderloin for even thickness and quick cooking.
- Clean mushrooms gently to avoid waterlogging.
