PORK MEDALLIONS DIJON
This recipe is quick enough to make on a weeknight, and yummy enough for company! The crushed black peppercorns are key....do not grind them into a fine mix. Take the peppercorns and put them into a non-breakable flat pan (like a metal pie pan), cover with a dish cloth or napkin, and pound them with a wooden or rubber mallet so that they are crushed or cracked, not ground. Yummy, yummy!

Steps:
- Cut the pork tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick slices. Dredge the tenderloin slices in flour.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet, and brown the tenderloin slices in the melted butter over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove tenderloin slices to a serving platter, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Keep the tenderloin slices warm. (I like to put them on top of a heating pad, covered with foil).
- Add the vinegar and crushed peppercorns to the drippings. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the whipping cream; cook for 15 minutes or until the mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork medallions over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- To make the Dijon sauce, use a good quality Dijon mustard. The better the mustard, the better the sauce will taste.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
- To make the sauce ahead of time, simply whisk together the Dijon mustard, white wine, chicken broth, and shallots in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over medium heat until warmed through. Then, whisk in the heavy cream and butter until smooth.
- Serve the pork medallions with the Dijon sauce immediately. The pork can also be served with rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Pork medallions with Dijon sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
