re: Best way to cook a Pork Tenderloin

OK its still a work in progress, but I think I am on to something. It the best thing I've found so far.



Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Fig glaze

1 pork tenderloin trimmed and cut into 1” medallions
1/4-cup butter
1-1/2 cups fig preserves/one fig per medallion
Salt and black pepper and red pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
1/4-cup flour
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 small onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup Burgundy wine


In a heavy-bottomed sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Season medallions lightly with salt, pepper, red pepper and granulated garlic. Lightly dust in flour and sauté medallions in butter until golden brown on both sides, 1-2 minutes each side, but do not burn butter. Move medallions to one side of skillet, and then add onions, minced garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes or until onions are wilted. Pour in Burgundy to deglaze pan and reduce to 1/4 cup, turning the medallions occasionally. Add fig preserves, Adjust seasonings to taste with salt, pepper and red pepper. Sauce should be a little syrupy and a little spicy. Serve medallions hot and top with figs.
