Pork Medallions in Green Peppercorn Sauce

Directions

• Cut pork into 2-in. slices; flatten slices slightly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown pork in 2 tablespoons butter in batches; remove and set aside.
• In the same skillet, saute shallots in remaining butter until tender. Add vermouth; cook until liquid is reduced by half.
• Stir in the broth, peppercorns and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 8-10 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. Stir in cream and mustard.
• Return pork to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, turning pork occasionally.
