Instructions
To make breading:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine oats and thyme. Pulse until oats are coarsely ground (roughly the size of bread crumbs). Set aside.
To make the pork medallions:
- Cut tenderloin into 8 equal slices. Between sheets of parchment paper, pound flat, using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer or mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dip a piece of seasoned pork in egg, shake off excess, then press into oats, coating both sides. Repeat until you have breaded all eight pieces.
- Over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large, non-stick skillet.
- Fry pork medallions in batches of four, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, adding additional oil if necessary. Remove from pan and keep warm.
To make the sauce:
- Add remaining oil, mushrooms and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, adding garlic in the last 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle in oat flour and cook, stirring, until flour is no longer visible.
- Whisk in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens.
- Stir in mustard and cream. Taste and season with black pepper and salt, if needed.
Note
- To serve, arrange pork medallions on a warmed platter and spoon a little mushroom sauce on each one. Sprinkle with parsley. Transfer remaining sauce to a gravy boat and serve on the side. Sauce will thicken a little on standing.
