pork medallions and rice

Pork and Mushrooms with Creamy Mustard Sauce

If you are looking for a new way to serve pork instead of a traditional roast or pork chops, then you should give this pork and mushrooms with creamy mustard sauce recipe a try.

If you do not know what pork medallions are, they are thick slices of pork loin. I buy a piece of pork loin so that I can cut the medallions to my preferred thickness. Unlike many pork dishes, this is not a fatty meal, as pork loin is a lean cut of meat.

The creamy sauce served with the pork is not too rich, as the addition of mustard gives the sauce a bit more bite, and the mushrooms give texture and an earthy flavour.

It is a simple dish to make that has a variety of serving options. We usually eat it with rice as it is similar to a stroganoff, or we sometimes serve it with sauteed potatoes and vegetables.

Ingredients for the Pork and Mushrooms with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

  • 2 pork loins

  • 300g mushrooms

  • 300 ml double cream

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 tsp English mustard

  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed

  • Salt and ground black pepper

Directions: How to Make the Pork and Mushrooms with Creamy Mustard Sauce

  • Trim the fat and any sinews from the pork loins.
  • Slice the pork loins into medallions approximately 2 inches thick.
  • Season the medallions with salt and black pepper. 
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat on the hob.
  • Add the pork medallions to the pan four at a time. Fry until browned on one side and then turn over.
  • Remove the first batch and add the second. Add a little more oil if necessary.
  • Once all the pork medallions are cooked, transfer to a baking tray and put on low heat in the oven to keep warm.
  • Using the same pan you cooked the medallions in, add the onions to the fat and meat juices. Fry for five minutes until browned. 
  • Add the crushed garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Continue to cook for a further five minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked through, and stir occasionally. 
  • Add the cream to the pan and stir through to pick up the juices from the bottom of the pan.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Add the English mustard and Dijon mustard and stir through again. 
  • Leave the sauce to simmer for five minutes and thicken.
  • Serve the medallions on plates and top with the creamy mushroom sauce.

Additional Tips

  • Serving suggestion: I either serve this with rice like a stroganoff or with crispy potatoes and seasonal vegetables. 
  • Flavour: Adapt the flavour of the pork and mushrooms with creamy mustard sauce to your own tastes by adding more or less black pepper and garlic.
  • Adaptability: The sauce from this recipe also works well with chicken breasts, pork chops, or turkey. It is not a good match for lamb, beef, or game.
