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.

Nick certainly didn’t hide his love for pork. I love bacon and muchroom, not sure if I have tried pork and mushroom. Should be delicious too I am sure
I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of pork but mushrooms do make a great pairing. This looks so good too. I think I need to give it a try. Looks fabulous, my friend!

You know you have a winner when the family can look past the fungus, huh. I have a couple of pork fiends in the house as well so I think this would be a winner here. I may just give it a go this week. Many thanks for sharing!

I am pretty much game for anything pork pretty often myself since I have found some wonderful ways to prepare it. Your plating does make me wish I was at your house for dinner. Thanks for the recipe-definitely saved this one-yum!
This dish is better that what a restaurants gives.
Lizzy, we must be on the same wavelength… I made a pork dish very similar to this on Sunday and I’m posting it soon. My family likes pork too and I got a great bunch of pork medallions on sale. You know I’m all about the sale! 🙂 This looks extra yummy and I love the mushrooms!
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.
And I’m not a huge pork fan, but this looks amazing!!!
