This French preparation for sauteed steak has been borrowed here for pork tenderloin. Quickly sauteed filet medallions are finished with a Worcestershire and mustard pan sauce.

Dress it up for a special occasion and pair with truffled mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. For a weeknight meal, mashed potatoes and green peas with fit the bill. Add a green salad with vinaigrette and warm dinner rolls.
