Apple-Pecan Tenderloin Medallions

Print

This is quite a versatile recipe.....I'm thinking that if you double it, then you can use half for the main course, and the other half for dessert (I'm thinking drizzled over some vanilla ice cream - of course, leave the pork out)!!!  My lawd awmighty, but it's darn right tasty too!!!  Without further ado, let me jump right to the how to do it part.....

Apple-Pecan Tenderloin Medallions
adapted from Go Texan

You'll Need
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (21-ounce) can sliced apples, undrained
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecan chips

Trim as much of the fat and the silver lining from the pork.  Then slice the tenderloin into 1/2" thick slices.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.  Once the butter is sizzling, reduce the heat to medium.  Add the pork slices to the skillet.


Cook the pork for two minutes, then flip the medallions over.


Spoon the apple slices on top of the pork.


Sprinkle the brown sugar over that.


Top the pork medallions with the pecans.


Cover the skillet and continue to cook the pork for an additional 4-6 minutes.


Tada!!!

  1. HI Anne, we do something very similiar: we use the canned apples and a jar of canned cherries. We put the whole pork loin on foil, add the fruits, wrap it all up and either cook it on the grill or in the oven. YUMMMMM!!!! We have tried several different things to top the pork too. THIS sounds so easy and quick, I will definitely do this one! Thanks! XO, Pinky
