Provided by Karen..

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pork tenderloin (about 1.5 lbs.)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato dressing
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 (6 ounce) package seasoned stuffing mix (for Chicken)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
water (to prepare stuffing mix)

Steps:

  • CUT each tenderloin crosswise into 6 slices.
  • Pound meat slices, cut-sides up, with meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Add to large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Cook on medium-high heat 3 minute on each side or until browned on both sides. Reduce heat to low.
  • COMBINE dressing and mustard; pour over meat. Continue cooking 3 minute on each side or until meat is cooked through and sauce is thickened.
  • Meanwhile, prepare stuffing as directed on package, but reduce butter or margarine to 1 tablespoons and add cranberries to the water along with the stuffing mix.
  • SPOON stuffing onto serving plates. Add meat; drizzle with sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cranberries. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not have the same tartness and flavor as fresh cranberries.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the pork medallions thin.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pork medallions. They should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • The cranberry sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cranberry pork medallions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
