A fast and flavorful recipe for juicy pork tenderloin medallions coated in a tangy Dijon and herb rub, cooked to perfection in the air fryer. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch thick medallions
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Slice into approximately 1-inch thick medallions. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, olive oil, dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add pork medallions to the bowl and toss gently but thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the Dijon-herb mixture. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes if time allows.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Place the pork medallions in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking (around 5-6 minutes). Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the medallions from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Patting the pork dry before cooking ensures better browning. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and keep the pork juicy. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking. If medallions brown too quickly, reduce temperature by 10-15°F and increase cooking time slightly. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispness.
