This one comes under the banner of what I call a “Leftover Rescue Recipe”. Although you can make this by starting with pork tenderloin medallions, you can use leftover roasted pork loin as well.

Here I used the leftovers from a Brown Sugar and Dijon Glazed Roast Pork Loin that we had a couple of days before.

Any recipe that successfully stretches leftovers into a second delicious dinner is bound to get high marks from me since, in general, I am not a big fan of leftovers. I think this one worked very well with the leftover pork.

You can choose to start this recipe using pork tenderloin sliced into about 1/4 inch medallions. The recipe starts out with this approach but also provides instruction on using leftover pork as I’ve been mentioning.

Easy Stir Fried Pineapple Pork

I use leftover roasted or grilled pork and beef in may recipes like this, especially anything that includes a sauce. Just be careful not to overcook it or it will be dry.

Cook the rest of the dish, then add it at the end. You are really only just reheating, so a gentle touch is best.

I’ve found leftovers like this can be very successfully used in many recipes and is very budget friendly too. Everyone knows I hate to throw out anything!
