Ingredients
Method
- Prep the Pork Trim the pork tenderloin and slice into even 1-inch medallions. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sear the Pork Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork medallions for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F). Transfer to a plate.
- Make Garlic Butter Lower heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds, then spoon garlic butter over the cooked pork to keep warm.
- Cook the Orzo In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toast the orzo for 1–2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Finish the Orzo Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted. Add Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and stir until creamy.
- Assemble and Serve Plate the creamy orzo, top with pork medallions, and drizzle with remaining garlic butter from the pan. Serve hot.
