on Jul 31 2026
⏱️ Prep time: 30 minutes | 👥 Servings: 2 | 🔥 Difficulty: Medium 🥘 INGREDIENTS: 4 pork medallions (approx. 120–140 g each), from the pork tenderloin 250 g mixed mushrooms (button, chanterelle, or porcini) 1 shallot (finely diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced) 150 ml cream, 100 ml beef broth, 50 ml dry white wine 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp fresh thyme, salt and black pepper, fresh parsley 🔥 PREPARATION: Step 1: PREPARE MEDALLIONS (5 minutes) Pat medallions dry, season with salt and pepper Tie kitchen twine around each medallion (helps maintain round shape) Clean mushrooms and halve or quarter them depending on size Step 2: SEAR (6 minutes) Heat olive oil in a stainless steel pan over high heat (level 7–8) Place medallions in pan – do not move for 2.5–3 minutes Flip, cook for another 2.5 minutes Remove and let rest under aluminum foil for 5 minutes Step 3: MUSHROOM SAUCE (12 minutes) Reduce heat to level 5, melt butter Add mushrooms to pan drippings – sauté for 3–4 minutes until golden brown (do not stir!)
