Pork Medallions

Full product description

Lean, tender and speedy to cook, pork medallions give you restaurant-style plates with weeknight effort. Cut from the fillet/tenderloin, they sear to a golden crust in minutes and stay juicy when rested. Keep it classic with garlic, mustard and herbs, or go bright with lemon and a green salsa. Pan, grill or BBQ—easy wins every time.

FAQs

Medallions vs pork steaks—what’s the difference?
Medallions are from the fillet/tenderloin (extra tender); steaks are typically from leg or loin.

Can they be slightly pink?
Yes—pull at ~63–65°C and rest for juicy results.

Do I need to marinate them?
Not essential. A quick marinade or dry brine adds flavour and forgiveness.

How do I stop them drying out?
High heat to sear, gentle finish, don’t overcook, and always rest before serving.
