Oh So Yummy Mustard Glazed Pork Medallions


Oh So Yummy Mustard Glazed Pork Medallions

(Serves 4)

Lunch today was frikkin' awesome! I made pork medallions coated with a seasoned mustard sauce with a side of roasted curry cauliflower. Delicious!

For the pork:

1 lb pork loin
1 Tbsp whole grain or country dijon mustard
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp each of the following:
fresh cracked pepper
sea salt
paprika
onion powder
garlic powder
rosemary
thyme

Mix all of these, except the pork, in a medium bowl and set aside.
Now you need to cut the pork loin into 12 medallions. Place all of the pork in the bowl with the mustard mixture and mix it up with your hands. Make sure all of the pork is coated.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan to medium high heat. Place pork in pan making sure not to crowd the meat. If the pieces are to close together they will just steam instead of searing and crusting. Leave about  two inches in between each piece. You may need to cook this in batches. Cook the pork for three to four min on each side. Remove and loosely cover with foil. Let the meat rest for a few min. Serve on top of the cauliflower.

For the cauliflower:

Pre heat oven to 375f.
Spray baking sheet with Olive Oil cooking spray
Cut cauliflower into small florettes and place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray cauliflower with Olive Oil cooking spray and sprinkle on curry powder, onion powder and garlic powder. Put on as much or as little of each as you like. Place in the oven and leave it alone for at least ten min. Cauliflower is done when it is golden brown and easily pierced with a fork.
