Easy Pork Scaloppine with Mushrooms
This Easy Pork Scaloppine is a speedy weeknight dinner that’s absolutely delicious over buttered egg noodles! A family-friendly recipe!
Easy Pork Scaloppine
My family loves pork. When my youngest, Nick, was little, pork chops were almost always requested for his birthday dinner. In about first grade, he drew a ham on his favorite things collage for Thanksgiving. Yup, he is his father’s son, a junior carnivore. One of my longtime foodie friends and former caterer, Kaye, directed me to this Martha Stewart recipe for easy pork scaloppine years ago. Quick and delicious, it makes our meal rotation a couple of times a year.
How to Make Pork Scaloppine
Medallions of pork tenderloin are sautéd in butter, then combined with mushrooms and celery in a simple cream sauce. Served over buttery noodles, dinner is ready in a flash. Summer through winter, we utilize our charcoal grill for as many Sunday night meals as possible. But this winter brought us more inclement weather than usual. A couple of Sundays ago, Bill and our oldest, Tom, were returning from a visit to my in-laws and I had defrosted some pork tenderloin to grill.
The weather just didn’t cooperate so I made a quick run to the market for mushrooms and dinner plans were made. Easy pork scaloppine was our new entree.
You loyal readers know the picky palate and fungus phobia of the hubby, so I had a small helping of the pork heaped with almost every single mushroom. No complaints from either of us. And Tom will basically eat anything that’s free and he doesn’t have to cook himself. Whew.

I’m a natural born carnivore too. I never have any issues with meat and would eat only meat if I could get away with it nutritionally. Maybe a few mushrooms on top and a side of mashed potato would round it out.
yessss, this looks like the perfect comfort meal to have on a dreary day like this! sounds lovely!
I’m not a huge pork fan, but lean pork and bacon is always on top of my list. Pork scallopine is an old fashioned gourmet dish that never goes out of style, and you have just made a “huge come back” on the traditional pork scallopine; my dear friend, Lizzy!

This sounds so good! And my family loves pork, it’s my son’s favorite too!!
We love pork, too. You know that pork is the “other white meat.” I’m bookmarking this recipe. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Dear Lizzy personally I love cranberries and these look beautiful!! love this recipe dear Lizzy, have a nice day:!
Looks good. Except for the celery. 😛
I make veal scaloppine, but have never tried it with pork. A must try!
This pork dish looks really tasty! I’ve made a chicken version but never pork. I’ll have to try it soon!
“just pushed to the side of the plate” – that made me laugh 🙂 I love a good bit of braised fungus myself, but for pork that appetizing I might save room by picking the shrooms off myself 😉
Keep delivering mushrooms all cream-cooked and they’ll stop pushing it to the side of the plate. My daughter, a confirmed mushroom-hater, changed her tune in high school. This is a delightful dish – I’ve never done it with pork and now I will.
Pork anything is my favorite…and mushrooms too.
What a great meal! I love pork too. This looks like a winning dish my hubby would love.
Beautiful meal…my family does enjoy pork on occasion and this would be a lovely excuse 🙂
Pork and mushrooms…I just finished dinner, but my stomach to craving some of this dish. Yum!

We love pork at this house – these look great! I love mushrooms, but I am the only one in my house. That is ok though, more for me 🙂
I too like pork Lizzy but you know other half does not so I have it outside and no cooking it at home.
Its nice you have served it with noodles, the meat looks really tender.
