Blue cheese isn’t for everyone, but this sauce is! Whether you serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or with a side of vegetables, this sauce will be the star of the night. And you can make it in under 30 minutes? A win-win!

Shallots and pork go together deliciously in this recipe smothered in a blue cheese sauce. This meal would go perfectly with a side salad or other fresh vegetables. As a blue cheese lover, this was one I will definitely make again.

Tips for this recipe:

• Make sure you use a large pan so that you are able to put all the pork medallions back in the sauce to finish cooking at the end. While you could split the sauce and pork medallions into two pans or finish them in batches as needed, it’s always easiest to do it all at once.
• If you don’t have white wine or like that flavor, use sparkling white grape juice. That’s what we did and the dish turned out wonderful.

Ingredients:

2 lbs pork tenderloin

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

2 finely chopped shallots

1/4 cup white wine or sparkling white grape juice

5 ounces cubbed blue cheese

3/4 cup heavy cream

Salt and black pepper

1 tsp chopped parsley

Instructions:

1. Cut tenderloin into eight 2 inch thick medallions. Flatten medallions slightly and season with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over high heat. When butter is foaming, add meat and sear until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook other side for another 2 minutes. Transfer to plate and set aside.
3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in pan. Add shallots and pinch of salt. Sauté for 30 second and use wooden spoon to scrape up any stuck on pieces from the bottom of the pan.
4. Add white wine to pan and deglaze. Once the wine has almost completely evaporated, add cream and blue cheese cubes. Simmer over medium heat for about 3 minutes until sauce is smooth and thick.
5. Return pork and accumulated juices to pan. Continue to cook pork flipping once until the meat is firm to the touch and still has a little pink in the middle, about 2 – 4 minutes.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve!
