The ingredients for Pork Medallions with Cherry Sauce are:

1 1/4 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of visible fat and cut into 1/2 inch medallions
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
3 tsp. olive oil
2 Tbs. chopped shallot
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
1/4 dried tart cherries

Here is how you make Pork Medallions with Cherry Sauce:

Season the pork with 1/3 tsp. of the salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsp. of the oil in a large skillet over 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 1 tsp. oil and the shallot to the pan and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 1 minute. Add the broth, vinegar, the remaining 1/3 tsp. salt, and the cherries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Taste and correct the seasonings with salt and pepper, if necessary. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve. Serves 4. *recipe is best if you do not use a nonstick pan. You want to get up some of the brown bits on the bottom of the pan for the sauce. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AMD218.
