Cajun Spiced Pork Tenderloin Medallions




These spicy medallions could easily be grilled on an outside barbeque grill, if preferred. I served with crispy oven fries and coleslaw for a complete meal.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

       Pork tenderloin
      1 Tbsp ground Cajun Seasoning
      1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground black pepper

Direction:

1. With a sharp knife, remove the thin silvery skin from the pork tenderloin medallions
2. Place the cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large ziplock bag. Add the pork tenderloins, and shake well to coat.
3. Coat a large frying pan with cooking spray. Place the pork medallions in frying pan and cook until they have reached desired degree of doneness.
