This dish was absolutely delicious. It's also pleasing to the eye and can be served for special ocassions. I used white balsamic vinegar instead of white wine vinegar and it worked great.

Very good and the toppings made for a very pretty presentation. Pork turned out very tenders. I only used about 1.5 lbs of tenderloin but made a full recipe of the sauce. Ratio was good.

What an outstanding recipe! We made this with pork chops on the grill, so I did change the method a bit. I cooked and strained the sauce, reserving 3/4 cup to reheat and thicken at serving time. I used the remaining sauce as a marinade for the chops (along with the cooked strawberries and garlic) and refrigerated them for 8 hours, turning occasionally. The pork chops flavored through nicely and the fresh strawberry, green onion and feta mixture really put this recipe "over the top"! My husband and I can't wait to make it again!

I made the sauce as a marinade instead and it turned out great. I was just being lazy but I would recommend that technique if you feel like going about it that way. And I didn't brown the meat.

Loved this! Made the broth mixture about a week in advance and left it in a jar in the refridge (change of plans). It was fine when I got to it and went on with the recipe as written. Very nice combination of flavors, will make again and not change a thing.

I am always on the lookout for new "pork tenderloin recipes", since my family likes this cut of meat. This Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Strawberry Sauce is a keeper. It is a very refined recipe. The pork melts in your mouth and the sauce is smooth and has an incredible, yet indescribable taste. I have made this meal as a Sunday dinner and I would not hesitate to serve it to a few guests...

This is Gourmet Good! Unique flavor combinations - the colors of the ingredients together made a wonderful presentation. Can be done ahead - I reheated sauce with medallions when ready. Simple preparation.
