As you may have noticed, I’m on a cream sauce kick. So much so I’m starting to get sick of them (haha)! However they do taste delicious so I have to admit this creamy pork tenderloin medallions recipe was very, very tasty.

The creamy Asiago sauce is sweetened by the sun dried tomatoes and the spinach adds fresh color to the tender pork tenderloin medallions. Best of all it only takes 30 minutes and it’s low carb (3.6g net carbs)! So this makes for an easy weeknight meal but it’s also fancy enough for company or a special occasion.

Simple ingredients I used.

All you need to make this quick and easy weeknight dinner is a package of pork tenderloin, olive oil, beef broth or stock, heavy whipping cream, asiago cheese, fresh garlic cloves, sun dried tomatoes and baby spinach.

If you don’t have asiago cheese you can easily substitute grated parmesan or romano cheese. You can also sub veggie broth or chicken broth for the beef broth. 

Note that I am using a pork tenderloin not a pork loin. The tenderloin is just like the filet mignon of pork. Pork loin is more dense and drier then the tenderloin.

How to make pork medallions.

Pork tenderloin is a delicious and tender cut of meat. To make this smaller piece of meat stretch further I like to cut it in to pieces and then pound them into thin cutlets. This makes it seem like more meat and it cooks very fast.

1. First take the tenderloin and cut it into about ½ inch pieces.
2. Take each piece and place it in a baggie and using a meat tenderizer and pound it thin. If you don’t have a meat mallet or tenderizer you can use a heavy skillet to pound it.
3. Place the pounded pieces of meat on a plate and season with salt and black pepper.

How to make keto pork tenderloin with creamy asiago & sun dried tomato sauce.

Step 1: Follow the directions about and make your tenderloin into medallions or cutlets.

Step 2: Get out a large skillet and heat to medium high heat. Add the olive oil and then place the medallions into the hot skillet.

Step 3: Turn the heat down to medium heat and brown the meat on both sides. This should only take 3-4 minutes per side.Then take it out of the pan so you can start cooking the asiago sauce.

Step 4: To make the creamy sauce, add the broth to the skillet to deglaze the pan and get all those tasty brown bits of meat incorporated. Then add in the heavy cream, shredded asiago cheese, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Whisk for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 5: Now add the meat back into the sauce mixture, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 6: Take off the lid and add the spinach in and just let it wilt. And that’s it! Note that the internal temperature when taken with a meat thermometer should be 145°F but the meat is so thin it will definitely be cooked through.

Serve this as is or over cauliflower rice or keto noodles for a low carb dinner option. Or if you don’t care about carbs you can use regular pasta or white rice.
