Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season 1 pound pork tenderloin medallions with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, then add to the pan in a single layer. Sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove pork and keep warm.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Stir in 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, cooking for 30 seconds.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/3 cup dry white wine and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and continue simmering for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Return pork medallions to the pan and spoon sauce over them to reheat for 1 minute. Serve immediately garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
