Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, sliced into 1/2-inch thick medallions
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dried tart cherries

Directions

Season the pork medallions with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the meat until there is just a slight blush in the center about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil.

Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the shallots to the pan and saute until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the cherries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve.

This was wonderful. I substituted dried cranberries for cherries and had it with a salad with a balsamic dressing with dried... cranberries in it. Restaurant quality!Read more

Delicious and easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used thick dark meat pork chops instead of the tenderloin, and I added about a Tbsp. of honey to the sauce. The meat is... great just with the salt and pepper because the sauce complements it perfectly (especially with a touch of sweetness from the honey, someone else suggested it on the reviews). I cooked this for dinner along with Ellie's Baby Spinach and Black-Eyed Peas Salad recipe, and the Smashed Potatoes with Scallions and Sour Cream. It was so easy, such a simple meal to prepare, tasty and nutricious. Definetely a winner, everybody loved it!!!Read more

Simple & Tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Thought this was great - light and satisfying and so easy. Served with mixed greens with raspberry vinaigrette. Might add a... teaspoon of dijon next time to add a little body and extra layer of flavor. A keeper, especially for a weeknight dinner. I prepped the shallots ahead of time, so cooking from start to finish was less than 15 minutes!Read more
