Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 8 pork tenderloin medallions and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the pork medallions. Sear for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F). Remove pork from skillet and tent with foil.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 cloves minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Step 4: Add 3/4 cup fresh blueberries, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, and 1 tbsp honey. Stir continuously and cook for 4-5 minutes until blueberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tbsp unsalted butter and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, cooking for 1 more minute until sauce is glossy.
  6. Step 6: Return pork medallions to skillet and spoon the berry glaze over them. Warm together for 1 minute, then serve immediately with extra glaze.
