Why It Works
Browning the potatoes first gives them a crisp edge before everything finishes together. A garlic butter sauce ties the pork and green beans together in one pan.
Quick Fixes
Potatoes not crisping: spread them out and let them sit undisturbed.
Pork dry: pull the medallions at 145°F.

Avo's Tip
Slice the tenderloin into even medallions so they cook quickly and evenly in the skillet.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
• Can I use pork chops instead?
Yes, cut into bite-sized pieces; tenderloin medallions just cook a little faster.
• Fresh or frozen green beans?
Fresh hold their texture best; frozen work but may release more liquid.
• What should I serve with it?
It's a complete meal on its own, but crusty bread is great for the garlic butter.
