Ingredients

  1. 12 slices pork tenderloin, each 1/2-inch thick
  2. Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 4 tablespoons butter
  5. 2 shallots, finely chopped
  6. 3 tablespoons flour

  8. 2 cups chicken stock
  9. 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
  10. 12 cornichons, halved or thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Drizzle the pork with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pork in 2 batches, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Arrange the pork on a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  2. Reduce heat under the pan and add the butter to melt. Add the shallots, season with salt and lots of coarse pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir 1 minute. Add a generous splash of sherry, and then whisk in the stock and thicken. Stir in the mustard and cornichons.
  3. Serve 3 medallions on each plate with lots of sauce, with bread alongside.

It’s called “Charcutiere” sauce, not Charcuterie-two completely different thing, but a celebrity “chef” wouldnt know the difference

This was best pork I’ve ever made. Pork was tender and sauce was delicious. Definitely making this again!

This was an interesting recipe. I honestly was surprised that it was really good, but it had too many cornichons for my taste. I would definitely try it again, but I will reduce the cornichons by at least half.
