What is Pork Tenderloin and Why do we Love it?

Pork Tenderloin is a long, thin, boneless cut of meat that comes from the muscle that runs along the backbone of the pork. It’s a lean piece of the pork and has just the right amount of fat that help bring it a little flavor.

The fact that it is long and thin means that it also cooks very fast. This makes it a great addition to your weekday rotation. It comes together very easy, is very delicious, and it’s all done in one pot. A one pot wonder!

How to Cook Stove Top Pork Tenderloin Medallions

Pork Tenderloin can be made a few ways. We love to make it in the oven like in our Mojo Pork Tenderloin Recipe.

However making it on the stove top is pretty easy to do, and doesn’t take long. It’s very similar to how one would cook Boliche. The first step is to sear it on all sides, and then let it braise in a delicious liquid. The entire process from start to finish takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour.

After Yaya (my Abuela) passed away, I felt myself wishing I had watched her more and paid more attention to her when she was cooking. I called the next best thing in our family, my Tia Ata, and asked her if she would show me a few things to get me started in the kitchen. This was one of the first recipes she showed me, she called it Pork Boliche. She said that it was an easy to do very delicious recipe that was impossible to mess up and a good foundation for learning. It’s become a staple in our house, our kids love to pour the sauce on their rice.”

Our Tips for Making Your Stove Top Pork Tenderloin Medallions

You can find Pork Tenderloins in the pork section of most markets. They come in a long narrow plastic wrap, and there are two pieces in each package.
When you take them out of the package dispose of the juices, and examine them. Sometimes there’s a little too much fat, and you need to use a good pair of scissors or a knife to cut the fat off.
Marinating them for up to a half hour before goes a long way. However they are very tender and you can season them and throw them right on the pan if you’re short on time and not miss a beat.
Use a pan that is deep enough so you can braise the pork after you sear it.
Make sure the pan is hot before you put in the pork, so that you get a nice brown color when you sear.
