Maple Mustard Glazed Pork Loin Medallions

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork loin, cut into 1-inch medallions

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard (optional)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)

• 1 tbsp butter

• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Season pork medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork medallions for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Whisk in maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and thyme. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Return pork medallions to the skillet and coat them with the glaze. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to heat through.
