Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Mushroom Sauce; an easy recipe to try!

It takes hardly 45 minutes to make this delicious grilled pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce. The recipe is simple, tastewise this pork dinner is brilliant and filling. All these considering you are using a good quality tenderloin. Tenderloin is my favorite portion of Pork along with the belly. I am not a pork-fat person unless I am savoring a good slow-cooked pork belly. I prefer tender chunks of pork preferably without the fat! Tenderloin works for me. The only thing that matters is the cooking time while handling tenderloin. I will briefly talk about that below.

Pasta loves pork. I receive a request or two at least twice or thrice a month for something from her! Considering the number of sausages she consumes or the number of times she eats bacon I try to restrict the number of serving to 2-3 times a month for the main course.

Pork Tenderloin FAQs

What is the difference between Pork Tenderloin and Pork Loin?

Tenderloin is the leanest part of pork and sans fat. The pork loin is thick and mostly with visible fat and is ideal for bulk cooking. Considering the size of the tenderloin, it goes well while you are not cooking in bulk.

How can you identify Pork Tenderloin?

The narrow and thin portion of pork without fat (from loin) is the tenderloin. It is the most tender portion of pork. You can identify it by color. Pork tenderloin is also known as Pork filet, Gentleman’s cut, or pork steak.

Is pork tenderloin cheap?

No, not really at least in India as compared to other portions of pork.

What are pork Medallions?

A medallion is a medal shape cut of tenderloin.

Is there any tip that needs to be considered while handling pork tenderloin?

Let me tell you that pork tenderloin is different from pork loin and is the softest part of pork. You need to handle it carefully. The rounds of pork tenderloin are known as pork medallions. Do not overcook or over-grill Pork Tenderloin. You don’t want chewy and rubbery tenderloin I suppose!

Notes

  • I mostly make the mushroom sauce in big batches and use it to make different dishes including our favorite pork tenderloin dinner.
  • Be very careful while cooking/ grilling pork tenderloin. You can see how soft it is. It, however, turns chewy if over-baked/ over-fried. 
  • Medallions are oval cuts; medal-shaped Tenderloin.
