A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful pork medallions, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the pork tenderloin into 8 equal pieces.
Ensure even slices for consistent cooking.
Flatten each piece to about 3/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Place the pork between two sheets of plastic wrap to avoid mess.
Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the seasoning mixture onto both sides of each pork medallion.
Press the seasoning gently into the meat for better adhesion.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the pork medallions for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender meat.
Serve the pork medallions with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor.
