2
Season each pork medallion on both sides with the spice mixture, pressing down to secure the seasoning and to flatten them to an even thickness.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Working in two batches, add half of the pork medallions to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3 minutes.
5
Flip the pork medallions, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet, and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
6
Transfer the cooked pork medallions to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining pork medallions, using the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
7
After cooking the second batch of pork medallions, remove them from the skillet and place them on the platter.
8
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and carefully add the low sodium chicken broth, whisking to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute.
9
Remove the skillet from heat and swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, stirring until completely melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.

Pour the pan sauce over the pork medallions on the platter.
