The recipe at first surprised me very much: can the meat be cooked in 10 minutes? After all, we are used to, for example, baking boiled pork for one and a half to two hours, stewing in a frying pan with vegetables - 45 minutes, even with chops more fuss than in this case! But after checking the new method of cooking pork, the result was pleasantly surprised - with both ease and taste. The meat in the middle turned out to be completely ready and turned out soft even without beating. I recommend that you try! A quick and appetizing dish is equally well suited for dinner as well as for the festive table.

I suggest to start with pork medallions with honey and mustard. The combination of sweet and spicy just sounds weird, but the taste is almost perfect. Since pork medallions are prepared quickly, then you need to choose the most tender meat for them, so that the dish turns out to be not raw and tough, but soft and completely ready in the middle. Best of all is pork fillet, which should be cut into round slices across the fibers, approximately 2.5 cm thick.

Important point: the pan must be dry! No need to pour the oil for frying - the medallions are fried in a hot red frying pan.

Put the meat in a frying pan and fry on the fire (slightly more than average) for 5 minutes on one side. Then gently turn and fry on the other side exactly the same - another 5 minutes.
