Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality pork medallions that are about 1 inch thick. If your medallions are thicker, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • To ensure the pork is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • The maple vinegar sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. You can also add a touch of Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pork will become tough if it is overcooked.
