Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 boneless pork chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 pound white button mushrooms, quartered
1 cup Marsala wine
1 cup beef broth, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup heavy cream
Buttered Egg Noodles, for serving, recipe follows
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping
12 ounces egg noodles
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the pork chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4-inch-thick.
  • Sprinkle the pork on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the pork in it, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pork.
  • Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir. Cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Pour in the Marsala and beef broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. (If the liquid reduces too quickly, splash in more broth as needed.)
  • Whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream in a small bowl. Pour into the sauce mixture and let it bubble and thicken for another minute.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Serve the pork with the Buttered Noodles and spoon some of the mushrooms and Marsala sauce on top. Sprinkle with the parsley.
  • Add the egg noodles to a pan of salted boiling water and cook according to the package directions, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Drain, put back in the pan and add the butter, then season with salt and pepper. Add the parsley and toss.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 14-ounce tube polenta, cut into 12 rounds
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed and cut on an angle into 1/2-inch slices
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, 2 sliced and 1 minced
1 shallot, sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2/3 cup Marsala wine
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 teaspoon orange juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

  • Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the mushrooms, sliced garlic, shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and wine; bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the pork and any juices to the skillet. Cook over low heat until the pork is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the orange juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the orange zest, parsley and minced garlic in a small bowl. Divide the polenta among plates. Top with the pork, mushroom sauce and parsley mixture.

Provided by Joanne

Categories     Pork Tenderloin

Time 1h15m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloins
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 (10 ounce) package fresh white mushrooms, sliced
1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup Marsala wine, or more to taste
12 ounces brown gravy
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Dredge tenderloins in the mixture until coated.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter has melted. Sear tenderloins in the skillet until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove tenderloins to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add mushrooms to the same skillet, adding more oil if needed. Cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl and drain excess liquid from the skillet.
  • Add onion and garlic to the skillet with more oil if needed. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss on top of the mushrooms. Turn off the heat.
  • Pour 1/2 cup Marsala wine into the skillet and scrape any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add brown gravy, beef broth, and onion-mushroom mixture. Add tenderloins and turn to coat all sides. The liquid should nearly cover the meat.
  • Turn heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes; the meat should be cooked through but not shredding apart. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove tenderloins. Stir the sauce and add more wine if desired.
  • Slice tenderloins and set on a platter. Pour Marsala sauce over top and serve.

Tips:

  • For a delicious sauce, use a dry Marsala wine. This will help the sauce to reduce and concentrate its flavor.

  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pork. If you do, the meat will not brown properly and will be less flavorful.
  • Allow the pork Marsala to simmer for at least 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked through.
  • Serve the pork Marsala over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
  • Garnish the pork Marsala with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
