Pork Marsala made with thin, center cut pork loin in a mushroom, Marsala wine sauce is easy enough to make during the week or can be made in larger quantities for larger get togethers.
It’s been so long (I’m talking at least 3 years) since I had Chicken Marsala. It’s one of those dishes where I never order it out because I can make it at home.
Besides, going out to dinner gives me the ability to try and discover new dishes. So I recently decided to make this dish at home, but this time I made Pork Marsala instead.
For the most part, anything you can make as a chicken dish, can also be made with pork, it’s pretty versatile; especially if you use the center cut boneless pork loin like I do.
I also try to save some money by slicing my own cutlets out of whole pork loin roasts. In general, it costs less to purchase a roast than to buy the pork chops or pork cutlets already sliced.
Especially when making larger quantities like this meal which serves eight people (or enough for two meals in my household).
Though this recipe is a little more time consuming than other recipes, this Pork Marsala dish was well worth the extra effort. I just love the flavor of wine and mushrooms together.
I served ours with a side of brown rice (perfect with all of that extra marsala sauce!) and carrots. This dish also makes a wonderful dish for Sunder supper, freezes beautifully and would make a great buffet entree for graduation parties or holiday get togethers. ~Enjoy!
Ingredients
How do you make Pork Marsala?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Trim any fat and slice the pork horizontally into 1/2-inch thick pieces; then pound them with a meat mallet until they are thin and uniform in size. (mine yielded 16 pieces)
Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large, nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Next, add 1 cup of flour to a bowl, dredge the pork cutlets in the flour; then add the pork to your heated pan.
Brown 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork when cooked through and place in an oven safe baking dish (I used a 13″x9″. It’s alright if the pieces slightly overlap).
Repeat until all pieces of pork have been cooked. In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat and add the mushrooms.
Saute until the mushrooms start to soften; approximately 4-5 minutes; then whisk in the remaining 2 tbsp. flour to form a roux.
Add the marsala wine, chicken broth and parsley; mix well. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Simmer 3-5 minutes until it is slightly thickened; then pour over your browned pork cutlets. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is hot and bubbly.

Can you use pork tenderloin and cook at same temperature
If you’re referring to a whole pork tenderloin, the cooking time will drastically change. This recipe is for pork cutlets. You could roast a pork loin like you normally would; then make the sauce separate to pour on top like gravy once the meat is carved.
