Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3.5 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 lb each
  • salt and white pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • MAKE THE SWEET ONIONS: Heat 2.5 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet on medium heat. Add the onions to the skillet along with a bit of salt. Stir occasionally, but not too much. Cook for approximately 30 minutes to get the onions to a nice deep brown color.
  • PREPARE THE PORK: As the onions get close to being ready, begin prepping the pork. Slice the pork tenderloin crosswise into medallions about 1 inch thick. Lay slices on work surface. Season with salt and white pepper.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet, preferably oven proof. Depending on size of your skillet and amount of pork, you may need two skillets or to cook in two batches.
  • When the butter has melted, add the pork medallions and cook for 3 minutes to brown one side. Turn the pork over, and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Move the pork to the oven, and let rest at the low heat of 200 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Check the pork for doneness after 10 minutes. Pork should be cooked to 145 degrees; pork tenderloin should still have some pink to be ender and moist. Put the pork back in the oven for a few more minutes to finish if needed.
  • When the pork is ready, plate several medallions and serve the onions over or alongside the pork. Enjoy!
