Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin, sliced into thick medallions
• ½ cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Marsala wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each pork medallion in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the pork medallions to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter with the remaining olive oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic, sautéing until the mushrooms are golden brown and the liquid has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
6. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. If desired, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
8. Return the pork medallions to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and heated. Remove from heat.
9. Serve the pork marsala over mashed potatoes or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley.
