Pork Tenderloin... What I ended up doing with it, recipe w/ pics

Started this thread the other day when I couldn't decide what to cook with a couple of pork tenderloins

Ended up smothering it down in a red wine, mushroom sauce....

Started out by trimming off the silver skin and sliced it into thin medallions on a bias cut. I seasoned with cajun spice, and lightly dredged in flour:




Browned off the slices in my black iron pot in a little canola oil over medium heat. Cooked in batches and drained on a papertowel:





Next I sauteed some diced onion, garlic and mushrooms and then deglazed the pan with red wine:




I made sure to scrape up all the good stuff off the bottom of the pan, added the meat back to the pot, and then added enough water to not quite cover everything. I added a little pic-a-peppa sauce, adjusted the seasoning, covered the pot tightly and put in the oven at 350 for an hour.

Here's the finished result:



Came out great! Meat was fork tender, and the wine and mushrooms made a rich gravy. I served it with some buttered angel hair pasta (cause that's all i had), but would have been great with rice, or polenta, or anything really.

Will cook again. Thanks for the great ideas the other day. Pork tenderloin is a really versitle, inexpensive, and easy to work with piece of meat.
