Instructions

- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add the pork medallions and sauté until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or fresh herbs like thyme to the mushroom sauce. If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, a homemade version with sautéed mushrooms and cream can be used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the pork loin with chicken breast or turkey breast. Just adjust the cooking time, as these meats may cook faster than pork. Ensure that the internal temperature reaches the safe level for the type of meat you choose.
What can I do if I don't have white wine?
If you prefer not to use white wine, substitute it with chicken broth or vegetable broth for a similar depth of flavor in the sauce. You can also use a splash of apple cider vinegar to add acidity without the alcohol.
How can I make the mushroom sauce thicker?
To thicken the mushroom sauce, you can stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little water or broth. Alternatively, simmer the sauce for a longer time to reduce it and concentrate the flavors, which naturally thickens the sauce.
