If you’re looking for a delicious and easy pork recipe that feels restaurant-quality, these pork medallions with plum sauce are exactly what you need. Tender, juicy pork paired with a sweet and aromatic plum sauce makes this dish perfect for weeknight dinners, date nights, or casual dinner parties. And the best part? It’s ready in under 35 minutes.

The secret to perfectly cooked pork medallions is simple: slice the tenderloin about 1 inch thick (roughly two fingers wide), season well with salt, and pat dry before searing. This ensures a golden-brown crust while keeping the inside tender and flavorful.

The plum sauce adds a sweet-savory contrast that elevates the dish. A splash of Merlot deglazes the pan and complements the natural sweetness of the plums, while a hint of thyme adds depth and aroma. Finishing the sauce with butter gives it a rich, glossy texture that clings perfectly to the pork.

• Slice the pork to the right thickness for even cooking and tenderness.

• Pat the pork dry before searing to get a beautiful golden crust.

• Use a fruity Merlot to deglaze the pan - it perfectly balances the sweetness of the plums.

• Serve alongside creamy polenta and a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

These pork medallions pair wonderfully with creamy polenta or mashed potatoes. A fresh green salad on the side balances the richness, and a glass of the same red wine used in the sauce ties the meal together beautifully.
