I was in the mood for Greek flavors so I cut up a pork tenderloin into medallions and marinated them in a combination of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. The pork took minutes to cook and turned out moist, tender, and had a delicious Mediterranean flavor. My entire family loved this dish and gobbled up every last bite.
- 1 pork tenderloin, sliced into medallions
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice and zest of half a lemon
- 1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin then slice into same size medallions.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a large zip lock bag. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Coat a grill pan with cooking spray then heat over medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot, lay the pork medallions down in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the pork over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy.
Note: If you want a sauce, you can double the marinade recipe and boil it for a couple of minutes after the pork cooks then drizzle over the pork medallions before serving.

Look delicious Pam, gloria
I love that you can use the marinade as a sauce!
This look so good! I'm going to try it out this week.
These look delicious! I love halving the pork chops and pounding them really thin before treating them to the pan … love a 'saltimbocca' treatment.Have you tried tha? Veal is a tough meat for me to take, as I always think of the treatment of the calves, but pork makes an acceptable exchange for me.
Oh man, I played around with a sauce that would have gone perfectly on top of that last week. I might have to steal this from you and add it to my sauce.
Glad to see you two back in the [email protected]
