Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Prepare the pork tenderloin by trimming away excess fat and silver skin. Slice the tenderloin into 8 evenly sized medallions, about 1.5 inches thick.
Using a sharp knife, create a small pocket in the side of each medallion without cutting all the way through. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, chopped chives, garlic, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well to form the stuffing.
Stuff each pork medallion pocket with about 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese mixture. Press gently to seal the opening.
Season the medallions on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork medallions for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the stuffed pork medallions to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
Serve the pork medallions hot with the pan sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with additional chopped chives if desired.
