1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 pound pork tenderloin (one piece)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (divided)

Set aside on a plate.

  • Season the pork medallions generously: Don't be afraid to use a variety of seasonings to flavor the pork medallions. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Sear the pork medallions in a hot skillet: Searing the pork medallions in a hot skillet will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the pork medallions to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, you can cook the pork medallions to a lower or higher temperature depending on your preference.
  • Make sure the balsamic vinegar is reduced: Reducing the balsamic vinegar will help to concentrate its flavor and make it more syrupy.
