Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 1 lb) Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Slice it into medallions approximately 1-inch thick.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork medallions in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the pork medallions from the marinade and allow them to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard the marinade.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
Sear the pork medallions for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Remove the medallions from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the marinated pork medallions garnished with additional fresh rosemary, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
