Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 small shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 120 milliliters white wine
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin or excess fat and cut it into 2.5 cm (1-inch) thick medallions.
Season the pork medallions evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork medallions for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt, then add the chopped shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, which will take about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take 2-3 minutes.
Return the pork medallions to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 63°C or 145°F).
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a light green salad for a complete meal.
