This was heavenly. Loved the flavor combination of the spice rub. So Good!!

This was a huge hit with my family and super easy to make.

I'm glad your family enjoyed it Gillian! I love how easy it is also.

So good! My whole family (kids included!) absolutely loved this recipe. This will be a "make again" in the very near future!

Hi Sara! Oh I'm so happy to hear that! So glad your family enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing!

From Amanda: Pork tenderloin can make a delicious roast, but I prefer to slice it into medallions and quickly sear them on the stovetop with a flavorful pan sauce. Horseradish is an underutilized seasoning in my opinion. Not only does it wake your taste buds up with its heat, but it is also a cruciferous vegetable and compared to broccoli, it has up to 10x the concentration of the cancer-fighting compounds known as glucosinolates. It’s also a fantastic way to add heat to dishes without nightshades, which some people can be sensitive to, especially in the case of autoimmunity. If you don’t already cook with horseradish, I think you’ll really enjoy adding it into the mix with the recipes in this book.

Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Horseradish Pan Sauce

Few pinches of fine Himalayan salt

tbsp lard (or ghee)

shallot (finely diced)

bone broth (or water)

tbsp dijon mustard

tbsp prepared horseradish*

tsp fine Himalayan salt

To make the medallions, flatten each pork slice between the palms of your hands with firm pressure to make them all an even thickness. Pat them dry with a paper towel so that a nice crust forms when you sear them. Season them on both sides with a few pinches of salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet for several minutes over medium heat until hot. Melt the lard and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Sear the medallions for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate while you cook the sauce.

To make the sauce, add the shallot to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Pour in the water or broth to deglaze the skillet, using a spatula to scrape up any browned bits. Add the mustard, horseradish, rosemary and salt and bring the sauce to a bubble. Lower the heat and simmer it for a few minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and slightly thicken. Add the medallions back to the pan and toss in the sauce, then serve.

This is a favorite in our house. I usually double the sauce and add the horseradish shortly before we eat so not too much of the flavor cooks down. Super easy to make and great with boiled or baked potatoes.

Thank you very much for this recipe; it's delicious. I've made it a few times and my 13-year-old even likes it. i use ginger instead of horseradish. It's very yummy and easy to make

This was delicious!! So quick and easy, great weeknight meal after a crazy day at work. I cut my medallions a little thinner than your photos (oops) so I seared for 2mins max on each side. Can’t wait to make these again. Might double the sauce next time for over noodles.

This was so delicious and so easy to make. Everyone in the family loved it, even my toddler! I used leek in place of shallot to make it low FODMAP. I will definitely be making these again.

I never make pork chops because I always over cook them and haven’t found a delicious way to serve them...until now!  This recipe is amazing and even my teen loved it!  Juicy and flavorfull!  Make this!
