Ingredients
- 4 Pork medallions
- 1 Teaspoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Cloves garlic crushed
- 1 Tablespoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon flour
- 1/2 Cup chicken stock
- 1/3 Cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons coarse sea salt
- 1 Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley if desired for garnish
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork medallions with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a cast iron pan over high heat for a few minutes. Add a teaspoon of olive oil and the pork medallions. Sear the pork on each side for about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a plate to rest.
- In a medium deep sided skillet set over medium heat, add the butter and garlic. Sizzle for about a minute. Add the paprika and mustard. Stir for about 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir quickly to form a paste, about a minute. Gradually start pouring in the stock, whisking as you pour until you have a smooth and slightly thickened sauce. This will take about 2 minutes. Add the cooking cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and add the pork. Cover and leave to cook for 10 - 12 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
- Serve pork medallions with the sauce. Best served straight away.
