Instructions
- Step 1: Season 1 lb pork tenderloin medallions with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork medallions and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove medallions and keep warm.
- Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 1 minced shallot to the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, then pour in 3/4 cup dry red wine and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until the sauce reduces by half and thickens slightly.
- Step 4: Remove skillet from heat and whisk in 1 tbsp unsalted butter until sauce is glossy. Return pork medallions to the pan briefly to coat with sauce before serving.
