    Sprinkle both sides of pork with garlic-pepper blend. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork in oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 145°F. Remove pork from skillet to plate; cover to keep warm.

    The pork will be easier to slice into medallions if you freeze it first for 15 to 30 minutes.
