"I found this recipe on the Cooking Light website credited to Laraine Perri in the October 2016 magazine. It produced moist delicious pork. I did have to cook mine for about 10 minutes instead of the recommended 6 minutes. Notes from the recipe: This is a classic, perfect way to cook pork tenderloin medallions. Pan-seared pork tenderloin is perfect when sliced and served over salad, roasted potatoes, in a wrap, or as a hearty appetizer on its own. You could cook the tenderloin and then slice it, but then you would miss the crispy seared coating that touches every corner of these two-bite wonders. Many big box stores sell pork tenderloins in pairs. Instead of making one for dinner and freezing the second one, try this recipe to set yourself up for delicious, filling, healthy lunches for the week."
