Directions
Step 1 | Add the salt and pepper to the flour, about 1/4 teaspoon of each and mix well. Coat the pork medallions with the flour, making sure they are coated on both sides. Set any remaining flour to one side for later when thickening the sauce. |
Step 2 | Melt the butter in a large skillet/frying pan until bubbling, I find that cast iron is best for heat retention. Add the pork medallions and fry over a medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes in each side until golden brown. Remove the pork medallions when they are cooked and keep covered in a warm place. |
Step 3 | Add the garlic to the browned butter and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes; add the sage leaves and cook until crisp - remove the leaves and keep them warm with the pork medallions. |
Step 4 | Add any remaining flour and gradually pour in the milk, whisking all the time until you have a sauce that is the consistency of double cream. (Add more milk if the sauce is too thick, or more flour id it is too thin) |
Step 5 | Place the pork medallions back in the sauce and reheat for about 2 to 3 minutes before adding the crispy sage leaves and serving straight form the pan. |
Step 6 | Serve with steamed or mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. |
