Easy Pork Tenderloin Marsala

Easy Pork Tenderloin Marsala is one of those quick and easy dinners you turn to when time is short. Ready for your table in about 30 minutes, these delicious and tender pork medallions are a snap to make yet are elegant enough to serve to guests!

I've partnered with my friends at OhioPork.org to create this delicious recipe and blog post for you. All opinions are my own. 

Some things were just meant to go together: Like peanut butter and jelly or steak and eggs.  Tender pork medallions and mushrooms are no exception. They are a great combo. Add a little Marsala wine sauce to the mix and you have a real winner with a spectacular pork medallions sauce!

A winner winner Easy Pork Tenderloin Marsala dinner, that is!

Pork finds it way to my table at least once a week, if not more. It's a relatively inexpensive protein, that when cooked to the proper temperature (145 degrees F for this dish), yields a moist and tender result. Pork helps me get dinner on the table fast!

I loved learning about my local pork industry last year. Thanks to the Ohio Pork Council, I had the opportunity to find out what a day on an Ohio hog farm was like.  I think it's important to understand exactly where our food comes from and how it gets to our markets. If it weren't for the hardworking and dedicated farmers it wouldn't be possible. Because I do prepare pork often in my home, I love to share my pork recipes like this Ground Pork Carnitas Tacos recipe and this recipe for Sweet and Sour Ground Pork Meatballs with you on this blog.

But let's get back to the recipe on hand, shall we?

How do you cook pork medallions?

While I enjoy pork tenderloin cooked whole, I also like to cut it into pork medallions for quick and easy meals. Pork medallions cook faster than a whole tenderloin, making pork medallions a great choice for a weeknight meal and for pan sauteing. Adding a quick pan sauce made with wine and mushrooms makes them even better!

What if I don't have Marsala wine on hand?

If you want to make this pork medallion recipe but don't have Marsala wine on hand, no worries. You can substitute any white wine you like for the Marsala wine and it will still be delicious.  It just won't have the distinctive Marsala wine flavor and will be more of a pork medallions with mushroom sauce recipe instead of a pork marsala recipe.

So heat up that pan and get started.  It won't take long. Your family will love Easy Pork Tenderloin Marsala and so will you!
