Tips:

  • To ensure the pork medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before removing them from the pan.
  • For a crispier crust on the pork medallions, sear them in a hot pan over high heat for 1-2 minutes per side before reducing the heat to medium-low and continuing to cook.
  • If you don't have cranberry sauce on hand, you can substitute another tart fruit sauce, such as lingonberry sauce or cherry sauce.
  • To make the cranberry sauce ahead of time, simply combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the pork medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Pork medallions are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be paired with a variety of sides. The tangy cranberry sauce adds a festive touch to this classic dish.
