pork tenderloin medallions with port wine sauce

Pork tenderloins are a great piece of meat but I find it to be so easy to over cook it. Unfortunately, I have been through that agony: slicing what seemed to be a perfect piece of heaven only to find out that it’s over cooked and too dry. “Get a thermometer, girl”, I can hear you saying… I have one but sometimes even that fails to work. By the time I think it’s time to check, the damage is done. And even if I put the alarm on, I still manage to ruin it sometimes 🙁 Some dishes don’t seem to agree with me…

So for me is always a complicated affair and a guessing game. But fortunately I’m getting better and lately I’ve managed to produce some nice juicy medallions. I’ve been a good girl and have been practicing with my thermometer and kitchen alarm clock. So this delicious dish came to live, with a sauce to die for 🙂 I decided again to use my home country’s touch and I added Port Wine to the sauce. It never fails, delicious pork tenderloin medallions with port wine!!!

Now you have to try it and let me know what you think…
