Balsamic Pork Tenderloin Medallions With Capers

These Balsamic Pork Tenderloin Medallions With Capers are impressive looking and full of so much flavor that everyone will think you spent all day slaving in the kitchen. In reality though, they only take around 35 minutes to throw together! They are lightly breaded, pan seared, then coated in a delicious balsamic glaze with lemon zest and capers. They are definitely a must-make recipe! They’re breaded in almond flour to keep them gluten free, Keto, and Paleo. While the almond flour can be replaced with arrowroot or tapioca flour, they’ll no longer be Keto and low-carb. It’s just up to you. Here are the easy steps:

Keto Balsamic Pork Medallion Steps

Start by whisking together some almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large, shallow bowl. Set aside. Then, cut the pork tenderloin into 1 1/2 to 2 inches slices.

Add 2 Tbsp of oil to a large pan or skillet and heat over medium heat. Using tongs, dredge the pork medallions in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, and place in the hot skillet. Do not over-crowd skillet, cook in batches if needed.

Cook the pork 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and set aside. Do not worry about the pork being cooked through at this time.

Once the pork medallions are browned and set aside, add 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the hot skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up all the bits on the bottom of the pan.  

Add the pork tenderloin medallions back to the pan with the balsamic vinegar and broth. Reduce heat and simmer until pork is no longer pink, around 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pork to a serving platter. Stir in the zest of 1 lemon and 1 Tbsp of capers to the sauce and simmer until thickened, if desired. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve!
