This sophisticated pork medallions with mustard-chive sauce is a wonderful choice for a healthy mid-week dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. The succulent pork tenderloin is quickly sautéed until golden, then finished in a silky, crème fraîche-based sauce infused with wholegrain Dijon mustard and sweet sautéed leeks. The combination of fresh tarragon and chives adds a delicate herb note that perfectly cuts through the creaminess of the sauce.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on lean protein and fresh aromatics rather than heavy starches. It is naturally low in sugar and can be served alongside steamed green beans or roasted tenderstem broccoli for a balanced, nutritious meal. The sauce can even be prepared a couple of hours in advance, making it an excellent option for stress-free entertaining.

Ingredients for Pork Medallions with Mustard-Chive Sauce
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
475ml chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only
about 2 medium)
240ml low-salt chicken broth
120ml dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, minced
120ml crème fraîche or soured cream

How to make Pork Medallions with Mustard-Chive Sauce
Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and cook until beginning to turn golden, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, wine, and garlic. Boil until mixture is reduced to 400ml , about 4 minutes. Whisk in crème fraîche and mustard; set aside. (Sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Sauté until browned and cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork to platter. Add sauce to skillet; simmer sauce over medium heat until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped chives and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper.
Return pork to skillet. Cook over medium heat just until rewarmed, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
