I am excited to work with Wisconsin Pork Producers Association and share one of my favorite recipes: Skillet Pork Tenderloin Marsala.

Pork is a family favorite in my house, and I love creating different recipes that are ready in 30-minutes, but taste like I was working over on dinner all day. Skillet Pork Tenderloin Marsala is so quick and easy, but the flavors are deep, savory, and rich. It is so comforting and a delicious family dinner.

Skillet Pork Tenderloin Marsala has pork that melts in your mouth and it is slathered in a savory Marsala wine sauce with hearty mushrooms and onion. It is garnished with fresh Italian parsley.

Why I Choose Pork!

Besides being affordable and delicious, pork is super versatile and an excellent source protein and other key-nutrients.

Pork is both a good source of protein and also provides several
important vitamins and minerals. A 3-ounce serving of pork is an “excellent” source of thiamin, selenium, protein, niacin, vitamin B6 and phosphorus, and a “good” source of riboflavin, zinc and potassium.

What Do You Need To Make Skillet Pork Tenderloin Marsala?

• pork tenderloin
• salt
• black pepper
• olive oil
• butter
• small onion
• mushrooms
• all-purpose flour
• dry Marsala wine
• chicken broth
• heavy cream
• fresh Italian parsley

How Do You Make This Dish?

1. Trim tenderloin of the white silverskin and fat. Cut the tenderloin into medallions that are about 1 ½- 2 inches thick. Season the pork with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 2 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat Place the pork in the skillet and sear until browned, 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the pork is well browned, about another 2 min. Remove pork from the skillet and place on a plate.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add the onion and cook for about a minute. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the mushrooms and cook about 3 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with the flour over the mushrooms, and add the Marsala. Allow the Marsala to simmer until almost completely evaporated.
5. Add the chicken broth and cook until the sauce is reduced by half. Stir in the cream and parsley.

Cooks Tips!

• A cast iron skillet will work really well for this recipe. If you do not have one this link is for a 10-inch and 12-inch cast iron skillet set. Non-stick will work fine, but the cast iron gets a nice brown on the pork.

• Season the pork before cooking and allow the sauce to finish before salting again. The sauce requires reduction, and it will lead to the sauce getting saltier on it's own.
• Try not to crowd the pan when cooking the pork or the mushrooms because it will allow them to brown better.

How to Safely Cook Pork

Pork that is overcooked can be chewy and not as flavorful. Like many people, I was always told to cook pork well-done. However, that is not necessary, or the preferred way to cook pork.

The safe internal pork cooking temperature for fresh cuts is 145°F. To check doneness properly, use a digital cooking thermometer to measure the temperature at the thickest part of the cut without touching any bone.

Once you have reached the desired internal temperature, remove from heat and let it rest for three minutes. When sliced, the pork should have a beautiful blush color inside. It will be juicy and full of flavor.

How Has Pig Farming Changed?

Farmers are still actively working to uphold their mission to produce safe, nutritious food in a responsible manner.

Farmers realize that raising healthy pigs by using good farming practices results in safe, high-quality pork products.
