Enjoy your delicious grilled pork medallions for longer by storing them correctly. Proper refrigeration and freezing techniques will help maintain their savory flavor and tender texture, ensuring a delightful meal whenever you're ready to eat.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for best quality.
Temperature
Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
To freeze grilled pork medallions, allow them to cool completely. Wrap individual medallions tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw frozen pork medallions overnight in the refrigerator for optimal safety and quality. For a quicker thaw, you can submerge the sealed package in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to restore moisture and flavor.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or ammonia-like smell emanating from the pork.
- A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the meat.
- Significant discoloration, such as a grayish or greenish hue, especially if accompanied by mold growth.
